Our world prioritizes external success, the recognition that comes when the spotlight is trained on you. But Paul calls us to cultivate the inner light of Christ, a steady glow of the Spirit that quietly dispels the darkness around us.
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.
