Selfless Attitude

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:5

 

 

 

Attitudes do not just happen—we choose them.

 

Jesus was the Son of God and His place was at the right hand of His Father, ruling the universe. No position could be more glorious or honorable than the right hand of Got the Father.

 

Jesus' relationship with the Father gave Him the right to this honor.

 

Nothing, not even His position in heaven, was so precious to Him that He could not give it up if His Father asked Him. His love for His Father compelled Him to make any sacrifice necessary in order to be obedient to Him. When the Father required a spotless sacrifice for the redemption of humanity, Jesus did not cling to His rights, nor did He argue that He should not have to suffer for the sins of rebellious creatures of dust (See Isaiah 53:7).

 

Rather, Jesus relinquished the glory of His heavenly existence in order to become a man. He was born in a lowly stable and His life was spent preparing for the day when He would suffer an excruciating execution.

 

All of this, He did with a willing attitude.

 

Can this selfless attitude be seen in your own life?

 

If not ask God to help you have such a selfless attitude in your own life, as the Spirit moves in you and provides the power for you to have the same selfless attitude that Jesus demonstrated as an example for us to live by.
