In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he urges them to have the attitude of a Christ, a posture of humility (Philippians 2:1-11). Humility is considering others as more significant than yourself. It’s not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less so that we can think of others more.
Jesus came to bring us peace, to reconcile our broken relationship with God. And He leaves us here as His representatives, His agents of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). We have an obligation to consider others as more significant than ourselves and to bring to them the hope that they too can be reconciled back to God, they too can have peace with their Creator.
So how can we do that? Love others as Jesus has loved them. Bring peace as Jesus has brought peace. Seek their well being. Seek peace for their lives. When we genuinely look out for the betterment of others, peace will naturally follow.
