Day 280: Isaiah 34-36; Philippians 2

"Have the mind/attitude of Christ Jesus..." (Philippians 2:5). It is in today's reading and it is the verse of the day...it must be for you and for me. If living is Christ, then living includes His attitude, His mindset. Let's see. Who Is He? He is God, the Son. Very God! That is more than I can grasp. With all His power and authority, He chose humility...self-emptying. The very opposite of my right to be right, and my defensive tendencies. Not only did He leave His heavenly throne, the Creator became the created, and the LORD of all became the servant of all. Then, He took my place, your place as He bore our sin and took on our curse of death. He did all this in obedience and left the results with God...He staked all that He was and is on this one weekend in human history, leaving the consequences in God's hands. We know the rest of the story...do we, you and I, trust God enough to embrace Christ's attitude wholly, abandoning ourselves to Him?
