This message from Philippians confronts one of culture’s most common beliefs: “Put yourself first.” But Scripture calls Christians to something completely different: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition… value others above yourselves.” This mindset isn’t natural—it’s supernatural. And it’s only possible when we adopt the mindset of Christ, who was first in every way yet chose to make Himself last. He became a servant, gave His life for sinners, and brought us—spiritually helpless—into God’s family. The gospel flips the world’s wisdom upside down. Jesus didn’t put Himself first; He put us first. Now believers are called and empowered to do the same, bringing life, unity, and joy wherever we go.
