Stop

Take a deep breath, say He is Risen, then a deep breath out and say He is risen indeed.

Read Philippians 2:7 …but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness, and being found in human form,

Reflect

Paul talks about how Jesus chose to come to earth and live a poor life instead of entering the world as a rightful king or powerful ruler. Jesus came to serve, to love others, to help, and most importantly to SAVE. Because of His obedience to live this way and to die on the cross for us, we can have a relationship with God forever. Jesus gives us the ultimate example of humility by choosing to put us first.

Take out a piece of paper and write the word “JESUS” in large block letters in the center of the page. All around the page, write out words that describe how you could become more like Jesus. Here are a few examples to get you started: loving, listening, serving, helping.

Pray

Loving God, give us humility by putting others first.  Help us to serve, love and help others every day of our lives. Amen

Carry On

Ask God to help you follow him by putting others first this week.
