As I close, So, what do we do with this? As I close, So, what do we do with this? As I close, I just want to offer one thing. I just want to offer one thing. I just want to offer one thing. We put on the mindset of Jesus. We put on the mindset of Jesus. We put on the mindset of Jesus. We adopt it. We make it our own. And We adopt it. We make it our own. And We adopt it. We make it our own. And this is a every day, probably if you're this is a every day, probably if you're this is a every day, probably if you're anything like me, every hour, every 15 anything like me, every hour, every 15 anything like me, every hour, every 15 minutes kind of thing. minutes kind of thing. minutes kind of thing. I say put on, Paul says, adopt because I say put on, Paul says, adopt because I say put on, Paul says, adopt because I'm used to putting on stuff. Every day I'm used to putting on stuff. Every day I'm used to putting on stuff. Every day when I get dressed, I put on because I when I get dressed, I put on because I when I get dressed, I put on because I look, I'm like, what is that?

Does that go together? All that kind of stuff. So, it just All that kind of stuff. So, it just All that kind of stuff. So, it just makes more sense to me to put on the makes more sense to me to put on the makes more sense to me to put on the humility of Christ in that meeting, at humility of Christ in that meeting, at humility of Christ in that meeting, at that place, with that person.

that place, with that person. that place, with that person. And it's not just like, hey, I'm going And it's not just like, hey, I'm going And it's not just like, hey, I'm going to be humble. But sometimes when we get to be humble. But sometimes when we get to be humble. But sometimes when we get it wrong and we're not humble, the it wrong and we're not humble, the it wrong and we're not humble, the humble response is to apologize humble response is to apologize humble response is to apologize and say, you know what, I didn't I and say, you know what, I didn't I and say, you know what, I didn't I didn't handle that well. That would be didn't handle that well. That would be didn't handle that well. That would be weird to this world. weird to this world. weird to this world. To interact with Christians who are To interact with Christians who are To interact with Christians who are willing to say, you know what, I messed willing to say, you know what, I messed willing to say, you know what, I messed up.

Would shouldn't have said that at all. Would you please forgive me? That's humility. you please forgive me? That's humility. you please forgive me? That's humility. Because over and over, we see Jesus Because over and over, we see Jesus Because over and over, we see Jesus lower himself. And Paul's words to the lower himself. And Paul's words to the lower himself. And Paul's words to the church in Philippi are adopt the mindset church in Philippi are adopt the mindset church in Philippi are adopt the mindset of Christ who did not chase equality of Christ who did not chase equality of Christ who did not chase equality with God to be grasped, but instead he with God to be grasped, but instead he with God to be grasped, but instead he used it. He used his power and his used it. He used his power and his used it. He used his power and his privilege to live a life that we could privilege to live a life that we could privilege to live a life that we could not live and die a death that we could not live and die a death that we could not live and die a death that we could not die that he might be raised again, not die that he might be raised again, not die that he might be raised again, put to the right hand of of God and say, put to the right hand of of God and say, put to the right hand of of God and say, "Who's with me?"
