An old Vlog that Sophia did, reminded me that we should always do this: consider others. She was cute in that old video sharing that we should be kind and polite. Consider others means to consider other people’s needs before your own. When I speak in schools, the Consider Others Campaign is an anti-bullying program that encourages students to consider other people.
We need to consider others because Jesus did. He is our ultimate role model. In Philippians 2:1-11, Jesus is the example of considering others more significant than ourselves. This encourages believers to have the same mind, love, and interests as Christ, for the unity of the body of Christ. According to this Scripture passage, humility and serving others brings joy and fulfillment. Christ is our perfect example of how we should live our lives with other people.
The importance of humility and serving others can be very apparent in the marriage relationship. You can’t be selfish in marriage and have it work out very well. There must be mutual consideration in any relationship if we expect it to thrive. Ephesians 5:25-33 reminds us that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church.
Jesus was humble. He was willing to serve and be obedient to the point of death on the cross. We also must humble ourselves, even if it means taking the lowest seat or serving others, as Jesus did. As shown in Philippians 2:1-11, humble yourself and put others' needs before your own. Consider others.
