“But He humbled Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming like a man.” — Philippians 2:7

In the British reality show “Undercover Boss”, the director of a large corporation for the production and sale of frozen sweets got a job in one of the stores as an ordinary cashier. Her clothes and make-up made her unrecognizable to employees. Her goal was to find out what was really happening on the ground. Thanks to this, she was able to solve a number of problems that the store faced.

The Lord Jesus also “humbled Himself” (Phil. 2:7) to solve our problems. He became a man, walked the earth, taught people, and then died on the cross for our sins (v. 8). This sacrifice showed how much Christ humbled himself. He became one of us and experienced everything we feel.

Christians are called to have “the same thoughts,” especially toward other believers (v. 5). God helps us to put on humility (v. 3) and to adopt the way of thinking of our Savior (v. 5). He encourages us to become servants who are willing to care for the needs of others and willing to lend a helping hand. God wants us to humbly love those around us, because we have received so much from Him. We will serve them and seek solutions to their problems with compassion.

How can you lovingly help people in their difficulties? What does it mean for you to be humble like Christ?

Holy God, thank you for the sacrifice of Christ. Please give me His way of thinking to humbly serve my brothers and sisters.
