Philippians 2: 5              Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus                                                                                                                                                                                                                Paul is telling us we should think like Jesus! What things can you do to THINK like Jesus?  And what is Jesus thinking about!

Some translations use the word "grasped" or "understood" rather than "exploited". The point: Jesus didn't want to impress us with his divinity, but with his servant attitude.
