Think Like Jesus

What if the path to unity in our churches isn't found in trying harder, but in looking more closely at Jesus?Paul's letter to the Philippians reveals a powerful truth: when we have encouragement in Christ, the comfort of His love, and fellowship with the Spirit, unity should naturally follow. If it doesn't, something is interfering. That something is often selfish ambition—the desire for personal gain with no regard for others.The antidote? Adopt the same attitude as Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). He didn't exploit His equality with God but emptied Himself, becoming a servant and submitting to death on a cross. His humility became the path to glorification and our righteousness.As a church family, we're called to work out our salvation together with fear and trembling—living in humble reliance on God rather than pride and self-sufficiency. When we do, we shine the light of Jesus in a dark world and discover that obedience brings both glory to God and joy to us.
