“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.“- Acts 4:13
A little child was thinking about the unseen Christ to whom she prayed, and came to her mother with the question, “Is Jesus like anybody I know?”
The question was not an unreasonable one — it was one to which the child should have received the answer of “Yes.” Every true disciple of Christ ought to be an answer — in some sense, at least — to the child’s inquiry. Every little one ought to see Christ’s beauty mirrored in its Christian mother’s face. Every Sunday-school teacher’s character, should reflect some tracings of the Eternal Love on which the scholars may gaze. Whoever looks upon the life of any Christian, should see in it at once the reflection of the beauty of Christ. (copied)
Every Christian should and could become more like Christ, but we must realize that it doesn’t happen as a result of changes we make. The Holy Spirit is the change agent. He transforms us as we keep our focus on Christ. “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18 – HDS
