Philippians 2 · Grade 4

Have This Mind in You

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul asks the church to make his joy full by being like-minded, having the same love. He writes, doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself. Each person should look not only to his own things, but also to the things of others.

Paul then points to Christ. Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus. Christ existed in the form of God. Yet He did not cling to His rights. He emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. He humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him. One day every knee will bow, and everyone will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.

So Paul says, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and arguing, so that you may shine as lights in the world. Paul plans to send Timothy, who truly cares for them. He also sends Epaphroditus, who had been sick but was shown mercy by God.
