More Like Jesus

There's a lot of talk these days about core values, those distinctives that identify priorities for your company, your family or your life in general. The number one core value for me personally is to be more and more like Jesus. Let's think about this..

Jesus poured his life into the lives of twelve ordinary men, investing most of His time with them. At one point, He even washed their feet which was the act of a slave or a servant. He healed the sick. He loved the poor. He was concerned about the widow, the orphan and the person who was left out. He loved kids! He got angry when the religious leaders put the legalism of the law before the love of God and the love for people. Even when man was murdering Him on the cross, He chose to forgive.

Jesus was totally dedicated to doing the will of God.. yet He was loving, compassionate and forgiving people. 

Do you have that kind of balance in your life? We all fall short, but what a model to follow His ideal in everyday living. The number one core value for me is to be like Jesus in spirit and character by diving into His Word daily to get to know Him better.

The Bible tells us that to Know Him is to Love Him. Well, the same is true that we cannot Love Him unless we Know Him. 

Do you really Know Him?

Do you really believe In Him?

Does your life Reflect The Son? 

If you can't answer "Yes!" to these questions then it's time to dive into His Word and find out who He is and what He means for you. You will never know what He wants from you as well as for you until you Know Him.
