    • B. Have a unified love
    • C. Value others more
    • D. Have one mind
    • E. Do nothing...but
  • III. “Have This Mind...” (5-8).
    • A. His position was not “white-knuckled.”
    • B. His deity was not deleted.
    • C. His priority was the Cross.
  • IV. “Therefore God...” (9-11).
    • A. Highly exalted Jesus
