Emptied
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God,
To have the mind of Christ is to empty yourself. It means to humble yourself. It means to let go of entitlements. It means to let go of control. The other side of the same coin of emptying is letting God fill. It's getting out of the way while being completely involved without your calling cards or I owe you's.
did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.
Philippians 2:5-7 NRSV
To have the mind of Christ is to empty yourself. It means to humble yourself. It means to let go of entitlements. It means to let go of control. The other side of the same coin of emptying is letting God fill. It's getting out of the way while being completely involved without your calling cards or I owe you's.
