The Mind of Christ

by T.W Hunt & Claude V. King

To be like Jesus! That is why God created us. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be...the firstborn among many brethren"(Romans 8:29). God is in the process of "bringing many sons unto glory" (Hebrews 2:10). The glory we are to have is the glory of being like God's perfect Son, Jesus Christ. The Mind of Christ is based on the magnificent challenge in Philippians 2:5-11. The Mind of Christ will challenge you to think the thoughts of Christ-to have the mind of Christ.
