Have the Same Mindset as Christ

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! — Philippians 3:5-8 

Jesus Christ, being in the very nature God.

Even so, He did not consider equality with God something to use to His own advantage.

Christ was made in human likeness.

He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death.

Even death on a cross.

Taking on the ultimate sacrifice for me personally.
