Heading into a new week, it is yet another challenge for us all to find the strength to look forward to giving our best at work. Today’s word of encouragement is: being imitators of Jesus.
The world is filled with lots of people buying books on famous people so that they too can be like them one day. All for the purpose of hoping that we too can have this so called great life. But all that matters is fixing our eyes on One, and being imitators of One.
Imagine what the world would be like if we all chose to be imitators of Jesus. Jesus was more than just relatable, He was more than just righteous, and pure. He gave His life for you and me. Let us look at the world today, and not complain, not get bitter at how things are. If there are problems, instead of complaining, fix it! How? By being imitators of Jesus.
There is only one self-help book that we all need, which teaches us how to be imitators of Jesus. Yes, the Bible. May today be a turning point in our lives to be imitators of one person rather than on men, who are flawed, imperfect, and nothing compared to Jesus.
Eph 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
