Philippians 2:3 Paul writes, “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”
What a paradox it is to be a Christian…
Servant
Leader
Sinner
Saint
Shepherd
Sheep
Living in Christ
Christ living in me
Boasting in God
Humble in Christ
Power from the Spirit
Perfected in weakness
What a paradox to live in this world…
It’s all about you
But it’s not about you
Be a servant to all
Not a doormat
Yourself
Others
Pride
Humility
Sin
Forgiveness
What a paradox to follow Jesus…
Slave to sin
Slave to Christ
Follow
Lead
Seeking
Being sought
Discovering
Being uncovered
Not doing
Already done
The life and heart of Christ in the life and heart of the Christian is a paradox. God in human flesh, forgiveness and grace wrapped in skin. Christ in you and in those upon whom your gaze falls.
