Be Like Christ!

Jesus gave this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does” (John 5:19). We too are called to do the same- to follow God’s example, by walking in the way of love (Ephesians 5:1-2). As we continue growing to be more like Christ, may we seek to love like the Father loves, forgive like He forgives, care like He cares, and live in ways that please Him. “Just as He who called us is Holy, so we should be holy in all we do (1 Peter 1:15). We are to live radically different from the world- to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48), to be merciful (Luke 6:36), to love as God loves (Ephesians 5:1-2). As we reflect on the challenge to imitate God, we can ask, If we are not following God’s example then whose are we following. The Father has given us the Holy Spirit to make us like the Son. Let us follow Him! – John 5:19
