“Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself.” (Philippians 2: 5, Message Bible)

What an inspiring and motivating thought! Can we do this? Can we consider how Christ Jesus might have thought about himself and do our best to think of ourselves in the same way?

Jesus was surely teaching us. He showed us the wonderful joy, peace, and power that came from knowing his oneness with God, his Father-Mother. He knew he was loved. He knew his life wasn’t confined to mortality and materiality, but that he was a dweller in the infinite heaven of goodness, eternal Life, everlasting Love. Jesus proved that this acknowledgment of his relationship with God—thinking of himself as God’s son—inspired him. It gave him confidence and the ability to achieve what no one had before.

But Jesus was letting us know how we are, who we are, as well. We can think of ourselves as children of God. We can be conscious of this bond of goodness and grace that never leaves us alone, that feeds us with Love, directs us in life, and that reminds us of our eternal blessedness, our special place in God and in this world as His reflection.

This verse may be more familiar as it appears in other translations where Paul reminds us to “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” So, let it. Simply allow that way of thinking to take over your consciousness. This is not attempting to put on a holy character. It is yielding gratefully to your true selfhood, the one that God made and loves.

Think of yourselves as Christ thought of himself. Own this mentality. There is no arrogance in it. It is a humble and powerful release to God’s Love.
