LESSON INTRODUCTION

The mind of Christ is the divine ability to be aware of happenings, to focus one’s thoughts and proffer solutions to human challenges.

In Luke 7:11-15, there was a funeral procession of a young man, the only child of a widow, Jesus knew that this-woman needed immediate intervention which He provided by bringing her child back to life.

That is the mind to help and to bear burdens.

THE MIND OF CHRIST

Every believer’s attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Our purpose of living must be channelled towards Christ’s mandate.

The Mind of Christ is the mind of;

i. compassion towards people – Luke 7:14.

ii. bearing other’s burden – Galatians 6:2.

iii. rescuing people from suffering and pain – Matt. 8:1-3; Mark 5:30-34; Jn. 5:5-9.

iv. restoring wasted years – Joel 2:28.

v. effecting believers’ dominion over evil powers – Col. 2:14-15; Luke 10:19.

vi. seeing believers through the journey of life – Heb. 13:5; John 14:16.

vii. establishing His covenant with the believers – Ezekiel 16:60.

viii. paying of a costly price to effect believer’s freedom – I Cor. 6:20, 7:23.
