Philippians 2:5-11
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
These verses tells every Christians to be a servants to people and not be people that are selfish. If you realize that many people in today's world do not want to know Christianity because Christians in general are just plain evil, many would say the most ruthless people. I give you example, restaurants on a Sunday afternoon would be the most busies time because Christians finish church, and for some weird reason, Christians have to complaint this and that, don't tip, and the list of selfishness goes on. Another is church sits, many would grumble when someone sits on your sit. Why complaint so much, what is the purpose in that, you might just cause that person to even hate Christianity. What Christians ought to be. Servants of people.
Do you know there is more hunt going on in the world than you being selfish. In the scripture, Matthew 22:37-39,
37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
Jesus didn't say love yourself first in verse 39, he say love your neighbor then only yourself. Jesus wants us to care for other people because we are already bless by God, so it best to bless others.
Went people serve you your meal in a store, just say thank you for your good service, can i help you in anything like a prayer request. Open up to people and people would open up to you. Once you care and show love, people would notice.
People around are hurt is us, Christians that help them and bring them to know that Jesus loves them.
Be the servant. God loves you
