Act Just Like Jesus!
"Be conformed to the image of His Son."
Romans 8:29
The Today Show tracked down identical twin sisters,
33 years old, who were adopted by
different families
when they were infants. They never met. The show
brought them together on TV, and it was a gripping
moment as two women who look exactly alike met
for the first time. They were
amazed to see they had
the same mannerisms and share
many of the same
preferences and emotions.
The Bible tells us we should increasingly look like Jesus and
be conformed to His image. We must mirror Him. As we grow
in Christ, we are to grow more like Christ.
We’re to love what
He loves and hate what He hates. We must develop His mind
set and see His values to our culture. His joy, peace,
patience,
gentleness, wisdom, and servant hood become ingrained
into our personalities.
We should respond to provocations as He did and
react to interruptions as we read Him doing in the
Gospels. In all things, we should grow to be
like
Him, our older brother and everlasting Lord.
"Strive to be like Christ…. Often put the question,
Would Christ have done as I am doing—spoken
as I am speaking, felt as I am feeling?
Am I like Christ in this?"
James Hood Wilson
