The mind of Christ



If we have met Jesus
Christ and we truly know Him and we have received His Spirit the
Spirit of Christ and we go after Him, we follow Him, then He puts his
wisdom, His mind into us. He reveals Himself to us and we KNOW the
will of God. We become ONE with Him, we have the MIND OF CHRIST.
There are not many people
like that but there was a man who had a meeting with Jesus Christ and
he was transformed. He wrote about this transformation, this MIND OF
CHRIST in him, the Spirit of Christ guiding and leading him. This man
was the apostle Paul. I read his words from 1 Corinthians 2:1


1And when I came to
you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of
wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2For I
determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him
crucified. 3I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much
trembling, 4and my message and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power, 5so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men,
but on the power of God.
      6Yet we do speak
wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age
nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7but we
speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which
God predestined before the ages to our glory; 8the wisdom which
none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had
understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;


9but just as it is written,
            “THINGS
WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT
HEARD,
            AND which HAVE
NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
            ALL
THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”


10For to us God revealed them through the
Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of
God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man
except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of
God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from
God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by
God, 13which things we also speak, not in words taught by human
wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining
spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.


      14But a natural
man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are
spiritually appraised. 15But he who is spiritual appraises all
things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16For WHO
HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM?
But we have the mind of Christ.”


Dear friend, can we say that about ourselves? Do we
have the mind of Christ? Or do we follow our own mind? Many people
are just educated. Many just know the Bible. Many just know what
other people have told them. Very few are taught by the Spirit of
God, instructed by Jesus Christ Himself. Very few have the mind of
Christ. We can fool others but we cannot fool God. Do we have the
MIND OF CHRIST? Are we led by the Spirit of God? Are we truly sons of
God?













May Jesus bless you.
