Warren W. Wiersbe Quote
Submissive Mind (Phil. 2). This chapter focuses on people, and the key verse says, Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better [more important] than themselves (v. 3). In chapter 1, Paul puts Christ first. In this chapter, he puts others second. Which means he puts himself last! The reason people aggravate us so much is usually because we do not have our own way. If we go through life putting ourselves first, and others go through life putting themselves first, then at many points there are going to be terrific battles.
