Have This Mind

As Paul stresses the importance of unity to the believers at Philippi his attention turns to promoting humility amongst each other by not allowing selfish ambition or conceit to be part of their lives (Philippians 2:1-4). In Philippians 2:5-11 we see a beautiful and powerful passage about Jesus modeling for us an example of humility. This passage is not only important doctrinally as it shows us who Jesus is and and what He has done, but practically Paul uses the example of Christ for us to learn from to promote humility and unity amongst ourselves. What do we learn about Christ's humility that will help us? Do we have the same mind among ourselves that was found in Christ?
