Episode Description
You could say the verses we’ll look at today are the pinnacle of Christian sacrifice and service. This entire book teaches us to think of others and not be selfish. There is no greater example of this than Jesus. In this passage Paul tells us to have the same “mind” or frame of mind Jesus had. He left heaven and came to the earth to serve to die.
No other founder of any of the major world religions can come close to His example. Muhammad, who founded the Islamic religion, spent his life taking life, but Jesus gave His. The Buddhist and Hindu religions have no divine sacrifice for sin like we find in Christianity. But Jesus was God in the flesh. He willingly gave Himself for us, and that is the ultimate example of putting the needs of others ahead of your own.
