Profound!
With all the “puffing up” everyone does to make themselves look important,
the one who is True, the one who is Life, and the one who is the way to the
Kingdom of God, that we are to follow and live our lives as he did,
surprisingly didn’t puff himself up.
He did not boast, he did not create the smartest resume, or attain the
highest college degree, or wear the latest fashion. He did not try to impress
anyone, he did not have business cards to hand out. He didn’t sell anything.
He simply came in His Father’s name, spoke truth in love, healed others and
met their needs, and only asked that they believe in and obey Father God
and believe that he sent his Son to save them through the gift of his life.
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
Philippians 2:5-8
May we learn to be more like Him, humble, filled with love, while we serve
each other in the Father’s name, as we trust, obey, and believe each day.
Be wise and be blessed!
