The Path of Humble Service: Emulating the Mindset of Christ (05/07/'24) -Passage

The Path of Humble Service: Emulating the Mindset of Christ We are called to embody the same mindset that Christ Jesus had. As written in Philippians 2:4-6: "Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped." In other words, he set aside his divine status to serve humanity. May our actions, guided by God's will and word, illuminate the way for others to find eternal life. Jesus explicitly teaches us this principle, saying: "Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! I am among you as one who serves." (Luke 22:27) Through his words and example, we understand that true greatness lies not in power or position, but in humble service to others. Let us follow this path by extending compassion and selflessness, striving to lead with a servant's heart. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 7, 2024)
