Book of Philippians - Chapter 2 - Verse 21
Meaning
The verse 'For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's,' reminds us of the selfish nature of mankind. Instead of seeking after the things that are important to Jesus Christ, such as love, compassion, and selflessness, people often prioritize their own desires and interests. This verse serves as a warning to believers to focus on living a life that is aligned with the teachings and values of Jesus Christ, rather than being consumed by self-centered actions. It challenges us to examine our motives and intentions, ensuring that we are not only looking out for our own interests, but also considering how our actions impact others and honor God. By keeping our focus on Jesus Christ and His teachings, we can live a life that is pleasing to Him and reflects His character to the world.
