Jn.1:9-14,16-18; Rom.8:29-30
Jesus is God’s perfect example for a believer to emulate completely. He is the pattern son, the first born among many brethren.
John 1:14…And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
His teachings reveal His principles, His person reveals His character.
Jesus is God revealed in the flesh.
It is His character that powered the principles into full blast manifestation of uncommon miracles, signs and wonders.
If we must be carriers of His power, we must align with His character not just his principles.
For genuine and full alignment, we need to embrace the resource of the word of God. 2Tim.2:15; 2Tim. 3:15-17; Col.3:16
Colossians 3:16…Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
The Challenge
The world needs us. We must accept responsibility to help others find what we have found. This will happen effectively when we portray Christ-like nature or character anywhere and everywhere. 2Pet.1:4
1Peter 1:23..Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
