We have the mind of Christ. - 1 Corinthians 2:16
French
scientists have succeeded in causing chickens to sound like quail. Researchers took tissue
from the part of the Japanese quail brain thought to control the bird's call, and they
implanted it in the brains of five chicken embryos. The experiment worked. Researchers say
the hatched chicks sounded like quail.
Here's a far greater miracle: God has "implanted" the mind of Christ in those
who have accepted His Son as their Savior. First Corinthians 2:12 tells us that the Spirit
of God has taken up residence in us. In some mysterious way we now have a capacity for
divine wisdom that no scholarly degree or natural experience could ever provide. Having
the mind of Christ enables us to see life increasingly from God's perspective.
This doesn't mean that we can think on God's level and instruct Him (v.16). But it does
mean that we have a new capacity to think and talk and act more and more like Christ
Himself.
O Lord, forgive us for not using the good mind You have given us. Please help us to spend
more time in Your Word absorbing Your thoughts so that we can think, talk, and live more
and more like You.

May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day;
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say. -

To think and talk like Christ, you must walk with Christ.
