Christ-likeness

Christ-likeness is not an idealistic dream for believers.
Jesus himself encouraged us to be like him.
Without any hyper- spirituality we can learn from him. Mt.11:29
His relationship with people was so unusual.
He had no insecurities. That’s why he was able to meet all
kinds of people and minister to them the heart beat of God.
God doesn’t give up on people.
He knows his own and will not let them down.
Jesus had a lot of patience with people.
He encouraged his disciples not to live by sight and not to
judge people according to their behavior.
By faith we can always see further.
We can see beyond people’s faults and minister to their needs.
I believe that Jesus was not a fast walker. He seemed to always
have time. He was not panicking to save the world.
He was full of forgiveness. He forgave people much more than
they thought he did. Nothing could offend him.
Destroying is seemingly much easier that building.
Many of the things that we end up destroying can never be
restored. Without them we will miss something in life.
It’s easier to get rid of people, than to see them become disciples.
With Christ-likeness we will learn to treat people just as
God has treated us. Phil.2:5
