Mind of Christ Part 6

Wilderness Encounter

In this our sixth lesson we continue seeking to know the mind of Christ. As God’s dear children, we want to learn how to deal with all of life’s trials and temptations.

And the best way is to learn from the master’s mind, the mind of Christ

• Paul wrote, “we have the mind of Christ” (1Cor. 2:16)
• Powerfully, that eliminates “divisions”
• Allowing us to be “perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (1Cor. 1:10)
• “with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27)
• The clear result is that we with, “one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 15:6)
• So, as we live and breathe, before God Our Father, let’s, “gird up the loins of our mind, be sober, and rest our hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1Pet. 1:13)

We receive the mind of Christ by seeing, through the word of God, how Jesus, and His apostles dealt with, error, difficult people, and life situations and the devil himself. You may have guessed from our scripture reading that today we want to learn from Jesus how he dealt with temptation and then apply the same principals to our lives. We will not be led up into the wilderness by the devil as was our Lord, but we all must face temptations in our lifetime. We all must make decisions, and live with the outcomes of those choices, whether good, or bad.

So, let’s learn from the master’s “Wilderness Encounter”…
