The Mind Of Christ!

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Love is only seen in the Passion of Christ! We must have it!
If you have problems with anyone, family, church, or other, this is the answer.
The gap between God and us; who can span it? Only Love could do it! Love is willing to come down to our level since we can’t go up to His.
Our minds are the same as Christ’s, where we let go of any position no matter how high, or how deserving, we let go and get vulnerable with each other.
Jesus left a place where all was working perfect and came to where nothing was perfect, He was always absolutely right and chose to come where we at best are rarely right.
Everything is disintegrating all around you; falling apart and you do all that has to be done to make it right, no matter how far that is. You know going in, you’re going to get hurt, but do it anyway.
We are so afraid we’re going to get hurt, we recoil instantly when wronged and want to run from those who hurt us. Jesus showed us the answer is to get in there and root for the other one and work with them until the end, no matter what the cost to you.
Be like Jesus and risk hurt for the sake of others, follow the example, don’t just think it, do it! God had to take the first step to make it right with us, it’s huge step to take the first step, but do it.
Knowing Jesus is knowing that he loves those who are hard to get along with, or you don’t know Him. Separating from each other is not the way of the cross, drawing all men through the cross is the way.
This is the path to greatness says God. He made Jesus the greatest name because of what he did, putting us all first before His own rights and privileges. One day all will bow before him and give glory to God, because of who Jesus is.
