The Interests Of Others
...not looking to your own interests but each of you to the
interests of the others.
In
your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be
used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even
death on a cross!
Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:4-11
When
we set aside our own interests and accomplishments to recognize that it’s
better to care for the interest of others, we see God’s name glorified. Acting
with grace and kindness toward others is one of the best ways to point people
to God.
When we love God, we will serve people.
