Philippians 2:5-7 — Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Here’s a paradox: We never become like God (because God is incarnate within us) by seeking to become like God. It is only by becoming our true selves that God enters in. By seeking to empty ourselves we are filled.
So what do we seek? The mind of Christ.
