The understanding, the pursuit of our thoughts, our intense earnest interests must be as Christ's shown and told to us - as a servant with real humility and obedience. We must die to ourselves as we allow sacrifice to put us on the cross, willing to give all for our Lord in all we do here. This counter-cultural, counter-world thinking is radically essential to being His disciple.
Philippians 2:5-8
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
