Do you really want to be more like Jesus…to put on Christlikeness?  Then look at Him intently in the pages of His Word.  Study Him.  You’ll see a “portrait” of Him, in words.  Learn of Him.  Talk to Him.  Then…imitate Him…especially in these difficult and uncertain times.  People really need to see Jesus…His love…in us…and through us!

 

1 John 2:5-6

5 But whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in [Jesus] ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. 

 

Ephesians 5:1-2

1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

 

“This hard place in which you perhaps find yourself is the very place in which God is giving you opportunity to look only to Him, to spend time in prayer, and to learn long-suffering, gentleness, meekness – in short, to learn the depths of the love that Christ Himself has poured out on all of

us.” ~ Elisabeth Elliot

 

The Lord bless you and keep you….
