Thinking about Jesus

Last night in church, I was convicted about how little I think on Christ.  The words of this hymn came to mind on the way home, and they helped me.

Thou cam'st to us in lowliness of thought

By Thee the outcast and the poor were sought

And by Thy blood was our salvation wrought

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Therefore, by God's eternal purpose, Thou

Art exalted o'er all creatures now

And giv'n the name to which all knees shall bow!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! 

and so, 

Let this mind be in us which was in Thee

Who wast a servant that we might be free

Humbling Thyself to death on Calvary,

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Let ev'ry tongue confess with one accord,

In heav'n and earth, that Jesus Christ is Lord!

And God the Father be by all adored,

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross...
(Philippians 2:5-8)
