Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2
I was reading through scripture and ran across these two verses and just kept reading them over and over. Do honestly take to heart and thank Christ everyday for giving His life up for us? Do we really understand what that means? I know we talk about it and often say Christ died on the cross for us but wow, like He really DIED for US! Could you imagine dying for anyone?... Let alone the entire human race, it's just an amazing and humbling thought and act. I know that I don't thank God for sending His only son to die for my sins nearly enough. The idea of being imitators of Christ and walking in love like He does should really teach us something. What does it even mean to be an imitator of Christ? To me it means to walk humbly in love and to strive to be Christ like, no matter how impossible it may seem.
Do you remember those WWJD bracelets?... I still wear mine sometimes and I love it. If we really would stop and think What Would Jesus Do before we do something then we wouldn't make nearly as many mistakes... Granted we can't read minds but we have a good idea of what Jesus would do by reading the stories from the Bible and by the convictions in our hearts.
Christ deserves our EVERYTHING so let's give it to Him!
