In His Image: Reflecting Christ in Everyday Life

A Disciple...will be like his teacher. (Luke 6:40) What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? The ultimate goal of discipleship is to be like the Teacher--to be like Jesus Himself. Every Christian wants to understand what that means. But even if we understand it is it possible? Michael Wilkins asserts that its not only possible its a life that all Christians are called to--not just a select few. So why do we so seldom experience it? As Wilkins points out even the first followers of Jesus had a hard time grasping what it meant to be His disciples. Like them our difficulty often lies in not clearly understanding who Jesus is not recognizing the resources available to us as Gods children or not believing who we are to be as Christs followers. But like the early disciples our lives can radically change. If we want to follow Jesus we can become like Him. Jesus takes us exactly as He finds us writes Wilkins and transforms us into His likeness. So come learn what it means to walk with Jesus and reflect His image to the real world.
