THE CHARACTER OF JESUS
Main Text: Philippians 2:6-7 – “Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of Men”.
Philippians 2:5- Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Title craze is so very rampant these days even in Christendom. What we see in our time, is the clamour for title, position, power, fame and cheap popularity, worst still among Christians.
Jesus who being equal with God and made himself of no reputation rather, he took the form of a servant in order to win souls for God, thereby saving mankind from destruction. He was humble, and obedient even unto the death on the cross. Phil. 2:8. He was humble to the extent of taking the form of a servant, which is totally different from what we see in Christianity today.
If we must please God, the Father, and impact on our generation positively for Jesus, we must take up the character of Jesus. Humility, obedience, Love, sacrificial living, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit as mentioned in Galatians 5:22 must be our watch word.
We must be servants and not masters. We must lead by example and our life style must portray what we preach as exemplifier by Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
LET THE CHARACTER OF JESUS, BE SEEN IN YOU.
Prayer point- Jesus I pray that your life and power will be seen in me all the days of my life.
