To be like him

People go to great lengths and huge expense to be like the the person that they are following, that person that they idolize. Young people want to be like Justin Bieber. They go into a frenzy when they go to His concerts and they pay huge amounts of money to wear Justin Bieber brand clothes. It is because they idolize Him, they want to be like him and they follow him.
If we follow Jesus Christ we will do everything in our power to be like Him. Jesus Christ came to do the will of the Father. Jesus Christ was the expression, the image, of God the Father. That is the IMAGE THAT WE MUST ASPIRE TO to be pleasing to God. If we truly love Jesus and God is our father then we will want to be like Jesus, speak like Him, do like Him, always ask the will of the Father so that we can be pleasing to our Father God.
Who is our idol? Who are we aspiring to be like? Some worldly person, who will also perish like we will, or are we sons of the Father? Do we want to be like Jesus, follow Him and have eternal life? Who is our idol? Who is our role model? Who are we following? Because we will end up with that person in the end.
If we follow Jesus, we will spend eternity with Him. If we follow others we will perish with them. Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY to eternal life. Who are YOU following? Jesus, or someone else?

May Jesus bless you.

Who is your father?

Like father, like son. A child follows in the footsteps of his father. He imitates his father in everything. Jesus Christ is the image of God the Father and He came to show us how God is. Jesus came to show us how we should be.
Jesus said:”Be ye perfect like your Father in heaven in perfect.” and He showed us HOW to be perfect, If we follow Jesus Christ and we are children of God, then we will be like Jesus! We will want to be like our Father, PERFECT!
Are we following the example of Jesus Christ? Are we LIKE OUR FATHER? WHO is our father? From our behavior people can see who our father is. Who is YOUR father and mine? Who are we like?
Do we have the likeness of Jesus and of God, or are we like satan? Who is our father, God or the devil?
Who is YOUR father and who is mine?

May Jesus bless you.
