THE MIND THAT JESUS USED

We are to let the mind be in us which was in Christ Jesus. Note the way the expression is used. The mind which was in Christ Jesus. This means the Mind of God. Not our personal mind,—marvelous as this is with all its different ramifications,—but the mind which Jesus used ; —the Divine Mind of the creator and ruler of the universe.n6648 ¶1

To have the same mind that Jesus used implies a power which is available to all and may be used by all. The mind which was in Christ Jesus was the Truth; hence, he became the way. But we also are to become the way and this can be accomplished only when we use the same mind that he used, which is the Mind of God.n6648 ¶2

We have the mind of Christ in such degree as we trust implicitly in the universe and no longer do those things which contradict the fundamental goodness. From this mind proceeds the perfect law, which is a law of liberty.n6648 ¶3

This mind is God working in and through us. God can work for us only by working through us. Consequently there is no other name under heaven whereby man may become saved ;—not the name of Jesus but the Mind ofn6648 ¶4

Christ. The individual is thrown back upon himself and upon the universe. Every man has the mind of Christ if he will admit it, but he can use this mind only when he is in harmony with life. Nature always guards herself against any undue approaches and the righteous alone may enter the portals of Truth.n6648 ¶5

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.n6648 ¶6

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS—Four.n6648 ¶7
