Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Selfishness. It’s something that we all wrestle with on one level or another. It’s always easier to think of ourselves than to put others first.
But Jesus was the epitome of being selfless. He put Himself after everyone, to the point of dying for us all. And not only did He die for us, but He died the cruelest of deaths on a Roman cross.
As followers of Christ, we should be emulating Jesus, following in His footsteps. Our lives should be using His life as an example of selflessness. We should make an extra effort to put others first, even when it’s not convenient for us.
Because, let’s face it, putting ourselves first is always easier and more convenient.
And as we follow His example, we will shine His light and show His love to others. This is how we show who God is. This is how hearts and lives are changed, when they see God in us.
