Living Like Jesus

Living Like Jesus…

Christians should strive to live like Jesus.  While books about Jesus are helpful, the best way to understand him is by seeing his teachings lived out in his followers. 

And they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. — Acts 4:13

If we truly lived as Christians should, people would immediately recognize the resemblance to Jesus in our words and actions.  We should be bold in our faith, never ashamed to be Christian.  Like Jesus, we should be loving, thinking, speaking, and acting kindly. 

We should be holy, always eager to do good, and make the most of our time.  Like Jesus, we should be selfless, putting others’ needs before our own.  We should be devout, praying regularly and faithfully following God’s will. 

We should be patient in difficult times.  Most importantly, like Jesus, we should forgive our enemies, remembering his words, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” 

We should respond to evil with kindness because that’s how God acts.  In short, we should live in such a way that everyone can see we have been with Jesus.

Lord Jesus, help us to live more like you.  Give us the strength to be bold in our faith, to love unconditionally, and to forgive freely.  May our actions and words reflect your love and grace, so that others may see you in us. Amen.

The best way to show your gratitude to God is to accept everything, including the difficulties.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
