Selfless Acts!

Philippians 2: 4 - 5 (ESV)

⁴ Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. ⁵ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…

I’m curious to know how many people really look out for the interest of others?

Let’s face it, even some of the nicest church people I know, can at times, be sort of self centered.

I had a recent meeting with a young couple, and I asked each of them the definition of love.

Part of the answer they gave was almost right on. “It’s a selfless act surrendered to another…”

The actual definition, is… “giving something of value to another person--without expecting anything in return”.

Actually, that definition explains Jesus to a “T”.

The mind of Jesus, is what should drive the church.

We don’t need another committee meeting, for this to be the driving force of the church.

I don’t like committees--but I do like loving people, like Jesus did.

Will that be your goal today?

What would happen if we all looked out for the interest of others, before looking out for our own?
