The Mind Of Jesus

<p>Today What would Jesus do? is a question commonly posed by and among Christian believers.</p><p> </p><p>In this classic work of theology author John R. Macduff poses a fascinating variation on this question: what -- and how -- did Jesus think? This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in delving deeper into Christian epistemology.</p><p> </p><p>Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus Philippians 2:5</p><p> </p><p>Arm yourselves likewise with the same mind 1 Peter 4:1</p><p> </p><p>THE MIND OF JESUS! What a study is this!</p><p> </p><p>To attain a dim reflection of it is the ambition of angel - higher they cannot soar.</p><p> </p><p>To be conformed to the image of His Son! - this is the design of God in the predestination of His people from all eternity.</p><p> </p><p>We shall be like Him! - this is the Bible picture of heaven! In a former little volume we pondered some of the gracious Words which proceeded out of the mouth of Jesus.</p><p> </p><p>In the present we have a few faint lineaments of that holy Character which constituted the living expositor and embodiment of His precepts. But how lofty such a standard!</p><p> </p><p>How all creature-perfection shrinks abashed and confounded before a Divine portraiture like this!</p><p> </p><p>He is the true Angel standing in the sun who alone projects no shadow; so bathed in the glories of Deity that likeness to Him becomes like the light in which He is shrouded - no man can approach unto it.</p><p> </p><p>May we not however seek at least to approximate though we cannot adequately and fully resemble? It is impossible on earth to associate with a fellow-being without getting in some degree assimilated to him.</p><p> </p><p>Just so the more we study the Mind of Christ the more we are in His company - holding converse with Him as our best and dearest friend - catching up His holy looks and holy deeds - the more shall we be transformed into the same image.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
