Perhaps the one quote from a famous person that troubles me the most comes from Mahatma Gandhi. I’m sure you’ve heard it: “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Challenging words to hear.
But maybe your response to this is, “Of course I’m very much unlike Christ, Mahatma. I mean nobody’s perfect like Him!” You’re right. But beloved, here is the challenge for us today - if we have trusted in Christ, He has given us His Spirit. That means we can become more like Him. We can live like Him. Love like Him. Jesus calls us to the resurrected life, and He freely gives us what we need to live it! So let’s not stop at, “I’m so unlike Him”. By His grace, let’s go on to say, day by day, “I’m learning to live and love, just like Him.”
