WHAT KIND OF MIND DO YOU HAVE ?

This is the title of a quiz I found online.  Since I am fond of online quiz, especially those which revealing about personality, I was tempted to do it. Am I an emotional, a logical, a spiritual, a creative, an organized, a respectful, an ethical?

Nothing wrong about being wanted to be defined by an online quiz. It’s even amusing to post the result on my facebook wall and see people respond to it.

In the more serious mode, let’s open our Bible and see what the Bible said about the type of mind that we should have…

PHILLIPIANS 2: 5-11

 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 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:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

These verses want us to have a mind which belong to Jesus Christ. A humble mind, that was. A humble mind is willing to be a servant, to be of no reputation, to be obedient…Unto death even. This type of mind is the mind which God likes.

Being humble is not easy. It’s hard. But Lord Jesus is willing to be out teacher. He said,” Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls,”
