In our fallen state, we naturally grasp upward, reaching for recognition, status, glory; Paul points to Jesus and shows us a better way, the way of humility.
Do you find it hard to love others who are different than you? If so, Philippians 2 is the passage you need this week.
Our heavenly citizenship unites us even when everything else divides us. The gospel calls us to stand together around the cross, not fracture over our differences.
No one enjoys seasons of difficulty, but as long as we live in this fallen world, they will be inevitable. When hardship comes into our lives, what a comfort to remember that, in Christ, our suffering is never wasted.
