The apostle Paul wrote, "Imitate me as I imitate the Lord" Paul must have been living a life of perfection to be able to write that. The idea that Paul was constantly sinning is not the sort of picture I get from that command of his. We are told that Paul imitated the Lord Jesus. It is time that we decide to imitate Jesus with our lives and one good way to do that is to read and understand what Jesus taught and make sure that we live our lives the way He commanded us to.
Jesus was a person that saw though the masks that people wear and He saw the real person that was underneath. Jesus knew that every person counted and they deserved to have an audience with Him. I wonder sometimes whether we are too quick to judge people for the way that they look and their behaviours and habits, and simply do not love them for the person that they are inside. I feel that we could all take a leaf out of Jesus' book and treat all people with love and dignity.
There is so much room for us to improve with the way that we act and behave with our lives. I am sure that many of us have so much that we could change if we were convicted by the Holy Spirit. If every person we knew could see everything that we do in private and see how we treat everyone would there be room in our lives to do better? Would we need to change if people could see everything we do and say? I feel that we need to live that life now and strive to be more Christ-like with all that we do and say.
