HAPPY LIVING
Living as becomes you
with complete lowliness
of mind (humility) and
meekness (unselfishness,
gentleness, mildness),
with patience, bearing
with one another and
making allowances because
you love one another.
POINTS FOR MEDITATION
AND PRAISE
1) What characterizes Jesus Christ’s
attitude towards humanity? His
character traits, attitude and behavior
are our example.
2) Happiness is doing what brings
everlasting rewards.
Happy living requires following the
example set by Jesus Christ, the
Captain of our salvation.
3) Let this same attitude and purpose
and humble mind be in you which was
in Christ Jesus: ( Let Him be your example
in humility:)
Who, although being essentially one with
God (possessing the fullness of the attributes
of God), did not think this equality with God
was something to be eagerly grasped or
retained,
But stripped Himself (of all privileges and
rightful dignity) so as to assume the guise
of a servant, in that He became a man.
And after He had appeared in human form,
He abased and humbled Himself (still further)
and carried out His obedience to the extreme
of death, even the death of the cross!
Therefore (because He stooped so low) God
has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed
on Him the name that is above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee must bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
And every tongue openly confess and acknowledge
that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2 .5-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
