"Let Christ himself be your example as to what your
attitude should be. For he, who had always been God by nature, did not cling to his prerogatives as God’s equal, but
stripped himself of all privilege by consenting to be a slave by nature and being born as mortal man. And, having become
man, he humbled himself by living a life of utter obedience..."
(Philippians 2:5-8a, J.B. Phillips Translation)
When learning anything of significance, there is nothing more
helpful than a good example. We are bombarded with messages everyday to follow
someone's example. Yet, Paul reminds us there is One who clung not to the
changing prerogatives of the world, but rather, in humility was utterly obedient
to God. That is the pattern to follow!
Prayer: Thank you, God, for the example of Jesus. May my
attitude be a reflection of His. Amen.
