We live in a world that bombards us with living for ourselves. When you combine this emphasis in culture with our own sin disease it makes it easy for us to forget, as Christians, what we should value most. In his letter to the church at Philippi, Paul encourages his readers to realize that Jesus didn’t consider his own status as God something to live for, but rather Jesus chose to consider others, humble Himself, and serve...ultimately by giving His life away. In light of this, Paul encourages his readers to view their lives as a reenactment of Jesus’ life. In a world that values self, value serving.
