The Mind of Christ

Unity is difficult. We have to work at it. When we come into the family of God, we join with people from all kinds of backgrounds. It’s likely we’ll clash with other Christians. But as we have seen, to live worthy of the gospel of Christ means we put other people—and their interests—first.

Jesus is our perfect example of selflessness. He is God and he stooped to earth as a human—the lowliest position. Even more, he laid down his life for us in the most humiliating way. We as his followers are called to imitate him. We can put other Christians first for the sake of unity and for the sake of Christ.

This week, what could you do to promote unity in your church?
