Model

Just a followup from yesterday's post.

Let's say we've been left in charge by the owner, and He's coming back, shouldn't we model what our boss would do?

I think that's an easy question to answer, but maybe a hard one to do.

Instead of looking at people as someone who helps me fulfill my dreams and aspirations, shouldn't we practice what Christ did?

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
 Who, being in very nature God,
      did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
 but made himself nothing,
      taking the very nature of a servant,
      being made in human likeness.
 And being found in appearance as a man,
      he humbled himself
      and became obedient to death—
         even death on a cross!

Phil 2:5-8

If you have been entrusted with His possessions, are you striving to make yourself nothing? Or is it about making a name for yourself?
