Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of GOD, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of GOD the Father. (Php 2:5-11)
O, that we would think like Him, and have the humble attitude of Christ. Putting aside ourselves, for we are to reckon ourselves dead to sin, dead to this world, and dead to ourselves, and living in and through Him. We ought to live lives, humbly and obedient to the Father, that give Him glory, that reflect Him in our lives. If we have surrendered to Him on His terms and been born again in repentance and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, He is now living in us. He is conforming us to the image of His dear Son, renewing our minds through His Word, and guiding us through His Spirit, for we have been changed. We are not what we were, we are now alive in Christ, and ministers of reconciliation, to lift Him up and point people to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The only way to the Father, the Word of Truth made flesh, and the eternal Life of Salvation.
He is lifted up, because He was and is, obedient to the will and work of His Father. He is glorified because He humbly took our place and paid our sIn debt, that we can never pay for, and gave Himself as the only offering worthy and acceptable to GOD. He is worthy, because the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, became an man, obedient and sinless, but completely human; tried and tested, but completely surrendered, and is now raised up to sit at the right hand of the Father to make intercession of His saints. Jesus Christ is Lord, He is GOD, He is King and He will return to judge the nations, rule this earth for a thousand years, and bring all who are His to be with Him.
Until He comes for His own, He expects His Church to be on mission for Him, to be His hands and feet in this broken and sinful world. As His ambassadors, representing His Kingdom, not of this world, but of GOD, we are to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, that they may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. As members one of another, we are to love one another and disciple one another in the Word of GOD so that all may grow up into the full measure of Jesus Christ, the blessed and only Potentate, the light that shines in us. As ministers of reconciliation we are to go where the Spirit sends us, and as we go, we take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every one that those who hear the Good News from GOD's Word and believe in repentance and faith might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
