📖 **1 Corinthians 2:16 (NLT)**
*“For, ‘Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach Him?’ But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.”*
(*Tagalog:* “Sapagkat, ‘Sino ang nakaaalam ng pag-iisip ng Panginoon? Sino ang makapagbibigay ng payo sa Kanya?’ Ngunit taglay natin ang pag-iisip ni Cristo.”)

### 🔍 **Reflection: Sino ba talaga ang gusto mong maging katulad?**
In a world full of influencers, idols, and trends, madali tayong ma-attract sa idea ng “pagiging katulad nila” — sikat, successful, maganda ang buhay. Pero bilang mga anak ng Diyos, we are called to be **like Christ** — not like the world.
> “Taglay natin ang pag-iisip ni Cristo.”
> This means: we don’t just follow Jesus — we begin to **think like Jesus**.

### ✨ **What Does It Mean to Have the Mind of Christ?**
1. **Humility over pride** – Jesus humbled Himself even though He was King (Phil. 2:5–8)
2. **Compassion over comparison** – Jesus wept, reached out, and lifted people
3. **Obedience over convenience** – Jesus followed the Father’s will, even to the cross
4. **Eternal perspective** – Jesus didn’t live for applause; He lived for purpose

### 📌 **Personal Check-In:**
* Sino ang role model mo lately — si Cristo ba, o ang culture ng mundo?
* Do you spend more time comparing yourself to others, or letting God transform your mind?
