Philippians
2:1-13
What should we
do?
Why should we do
it?
In the book of
Philippians Paul describes the Christian patterns of service one to another. And
the humility of Christ.
Pride allows us
to elevate ourselves above others. We must step out of the limelight and be
second to others. Humility allows us to see the needs of others and to serve
them. Humility comes from a broken heart over our sins. As well as recognition
of the sacrifice Jesus made to free us from them. A servant’s spirit starts with
hatred of individualism and pride. A humble heart strikes a balance between
recognizing our, flaws and how much Jesus loves us anyway. To serve we must be
obedient. Because it is through obedience that we can best serve others. God
requires us to love and be ready servants. Jesus made himself nothing in order
to serve. I pray that we can find joy while loving and serving. I pray that we
reflect light. I pray that we Work out our salvation, not by
looking inward. But by turning and looking outward for ways to serve and
love.
