Philippians 2:2-5 [2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
The mind of Christ
...being of one accord
...being of one mind
...doing nothing through strife
...doing nothing through vain glory
...doing everything in lowliness of mind
...esteem others over yourself
...don’t just care about yourself
...caring about others
[5]Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Now let’s look at the opposite:
Thinking like the world
....everyone thinks for himself
....only my way is right
....if I can cause a problem, I will
....it’s all about me
....I am the most important person to think about
....it only matters how I look to others
....I don’t care how it affects others
....again, it is most important how it affects me
Don’t let this way of thinking be in you! It is NOT how Christ Jesus would think.
Fulfill ye my joy...
J-Jesus
O-Others
Y-you
Keep things in this order and you will have JOY!
