This is one of my all-time favorite passages, particularly "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Having the Life of Christ within us gives us the very mind of Christ. How glorious is that? Good thing too, my mind slips a gear on a regular basis. Lol. However, in releasing Christ's mind, I find the comfort of depending on His thinking.
Interestingly enough, our pastor preached from this passage this morning. It's not one that comes to mind for Christmas, but you and he show how timely it is.
A midst the frenzied commercialization of Christmas, your article should help folks focus on God the Eternal Word, who became the God-Man, was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, was crucified for the sins of the world (including mine), arose, and ascended to heaven. We await His return. This is the reason for the season.
