In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:5 NIV
When I read Phil 2 I usually just skip past this verse, because the next bit is this massive concept of Jesus giving up being God to become one of us...but Paul is telling us here before you get to that, before you get to what Jesus did, I want you all to have the same mindset, the same thinking, the same heart...as one another?
No the same mindset, the same thinking, the same heart as Jesus.
Think like Him.
Bring his heart to your world.
See the people in your life as Jesus saw them.
And it's from our heart that our words, and our actions flow...
Bring Jesus heart to your world.
Bring Jesus words to your world.
Bring Jesus actions to your world.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
