81. The Mind of Christ
“Let your bearing towards one another arise
out of your life in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)
out of your life in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)
Let us then remember Jesus:
who, though he was rich, yet for our sakes
became poor and dwelt among us;
who was content to be subject to his parents,
the child of a poor couple’s home.
May this mind be in us that was in Christ Jesus.

the child of a poor couple’s home.

Who lived for nearly thirty years an ordinary life,
earning his living with his own hands
and refusing no humble tasks;
whom the common people heard gladly,
for he understood their ways.

who was mighty in deed, healing the sick and the disordered,
using for others the powers he would not invoke for himself;
who refused to force anyone’s allegiance.

whose meat was to do the will of the Father who sent him.

Let us remember Jesus:
who loved people, yet retired from them to pray,
rose a great while before day, watched through a night,
stayed in the wilderness, went up into a mountain, sought a garden;
who, when he would help a tempted disciple, prayed for him.

Who prayed for the forgiveness of those who rejected him,
and for the perfecting of those who received him;
who observed good customs,
but defied conventions which did not serve the purposes of God;
who hated sin because he knew the human cost
of pride and selfishness, of cruelty and impurity,
and still more the cost to his Father in heaven.

and thought first of others’ needs,
and though he suffered long, was always kind.

even death on the cross, and endured faithful to the end.

THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY
82. The Greatest of These Is Love
Love is patient and kind.

as we would wish them to be to us.

their possessions or successes,
and keep us from all pride and conceit,
that we may never boast of what we are,
or have, or have achieved.
