Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus

Philippians 2:5


"Your attitude (or mind in the KJV) should be the same as that of Christ Jesus."

Jesus came to give His life as a sacrifice for sin. But many portions of His life were for the express purpose of giving us an example by which to live. With all the power of the Universe at His command, He humbled Himself and demonstrated the mind and attitude of a servant; "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve" (Matthew 20:28).

To be a mind of a servant is being more the thinking in a sub servant manner. It is to be humble and be of  service to others. Each day we face situations where people who are what we consider of a lower level to us in terms of knowledge or skills. Some times it is hard to bring ourselves to their level to appreciate the world from their side. Every day we struggle with ourselves to live up to this ideal. It is definitely not an easy walk.
