IMITATE JESUS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: IMITATE JESUS
...CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY

Hebrews 12:2 KJV
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Brethren, to be a winner we have to be like Jesus and that is to imitate him. His character, likes. Dislikes and in Holiness.
Secondly we have to be looking unto him,
Yes if we are to imitate someone who is a winner already we have to look unto him as a perfect coach to train us to win the prize. And to achieve this we have to be looking unto him.

Philippians 3:14-16 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. [15] Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. [16] Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Christ is the perfect image of humanity. If you must have an American idol, let it be Jesus. The bible tells we are created in the image of God but that image was darkened because of sin. It is like seeing your face in a broken glass. Jesus is the clear mirror of our souls. Each one of us is unique so do not compare yourself with others. If you always compare yourself with others, you will either feel inferior because there are others better than you or you will feel superior because you think you are better than the others. But if you imitate Jesus, you will never fail. Jesus is the supreme example of faith, hope and love.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. HELP US TO BE LIKE YOU AND MAKE US A WINNER IN JESUS NAME.
