# **WEDNESDAY—THE MIND OF CHRIST**
# **SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON COMMENTARY 3—UNITY THROUGH HUMILITY**
**BY PASTOR DANIEL HERRERA—TRANSLATED BY MARTHA CARR**
Welcome to *Bible Lessons*, a space to study and understand the Word of God. In seeking unity, Paul mentions a key point: **the mind of Christ**. To have the mind of Jesus—what was it that Jesus did? What was the attitude that led Him to be in unity with the Father? Today, join us for the topic titled **“The Mind of Christ.”**
Let us pray. Lord of heaven, we thank You because today we will learn how to have the mind of Christ, how to imitate Him in everything He did. In the name of Christ Jesus, amen.
Today’s story takes us to **1 Corinthians 2:16**:
“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who can instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
Notice that Paul says, “Who has known the mind of the Lord?” Well—Christ, because the Lord came. “Who can instruct Him?” No one, because He is the God of the universe. But Paul says, “We have the mind of Christ.”
So, what was the mind of Christ? What did Christ do? How can we enter into His mind so we can think as He thought and act as He acted? The Bible gives us some guidance.
**1. Submission**
Let’s read Mark 1:35:
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went to a solitary place to pray.
Amazing. Now, if I were God on earth, I might say, “I don’t need to pray or read the Bible.” But that is exactly what human beings do. Every time we leave home without reading the Bible or praying, we act as if we were God. We refuse to take our place as creatures. God needs nothing — but **we** do. We need submission.
And that submission begins when we seek the Lord in prayer and Bible study.
**2. Obedience**
Let’s read Hebrews 5:8:
Although He was the Son, He learned obedience through suffering.
John 5 says that the Son of God is equal with God, yet it says He **obeyed**. He obeyed through suffering.GOD BLESS YOU
