—Philippians 2:1-8
by: Ellen Olson.
Christ was our ultimate example of humility. He gave up his Godly form to come to earth as a man. He endured all of the frustrations and limitations of manhood. He obeyed his Father even to the point of death. Paul asks us to have the same mind that Christ had. That involves having the same level of humility, because humility is the core of unity and fellowship in Christ. We are to avoid selfish ambitions and conceit. We are to think of others better than ourselves. We are to look out for the interest of others. A tall order, but one made easier when we keep our eyes on Christ, our example of humility.
