Your walk is a mirror of the life of Jesus!

You can’t be My disciple without suffering for My name’s sake!

They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.” John 16:3

If you are serious about God and walking in His ways, your life will mirror the life of Jesus.

Think about it this way; Jesus lives in you and through you so everything that takes place in your life is really a microcosm of the life of Jesus. This includes your successes, your troubles, and all the trials of life.

For the Lord is righteous, the upright will see His face.

Jesus was praised, verbally abused, ridiculed and rejected by the religious leaders of the day. You can expect the same persecution in your walk with God.

The Father and I are one!

Jesus had one objective in His life! He wanted to be one with His Father. Your priority is to be one with Jesus and follow in His footsteps. This involves losing your life to find His life.

You cannot invite people into a relationship with Jesus without identifying with His suffering, feeling His pain,  and taking on the same treatment as Jesus.

If you have been crucified with Jesus, your purpose will be to live with Him and draw those around you to the Living God.

Don’t think about religion, works, or trying to live a saintly life! Make your goal to know the risen Christ!

Thought for the day:

“Your life belongs to Me! Walk with the Son of God and you will see Me for who I am. You can please Me with your steadfast faith in My promises and becoming My light to the world.”
