Gospel Reflections #278: It's Only Jesus Who Fits it All

Philippians 4:8 "At the end, brethren, be mindful of all that is true, all that is noble, all that is just, all that is pure, all that is lovely, all that is honorable, and if anything is virtuous or praiseworthy, let it be done."

The word "all" is used in what is written here.

The only one who fits all is Jesus. Philippians 4:7 says, "The peace of God guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

And that which is "of virtue and praise" is found in Philippians 4:9, "what you have learned from me, what you have received, what you have heard and what you have seen.

God tells us to look to Jesus and be mindful of what He does.

First, we are to know and be mindful of who Jesus is and what He has done for us, so that we can connect with God and receive the nourishment, or grace, that we need from Him. Then we can be doers like Jesus.

We do not do it in our own strength, but by looking up to, believing in, and accepting Jesus, we receive His character, wisdom, and power.

We cannot create anything, but it is God who creates in us.

We only receive what God gives us.

To be "mindful" means to look to God to give us what we need, and this is our start, and our actions are the goal He makes, our reflection of Him.
