Season 12 Episode 15
What Example Do People See In Us?
“Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.” - Philippians 3:17
This isn’t the only time that Paul essentially told his readers to “follow him as he follows Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
This got me to thinking. If a person were around me publicly and privately and were looking at my example, what would they see?
What would they see if I were tired or stressed?
What would they see in me after I’ve had a particularly long day?
What would they see in me if I were in a hurry or under deadline?
What would they see in me if I were to be insulted or slighted?
What would they see in me after I’ve had a setback or disappointment?
What would they see in me if I were feeling lonely or afraid?
Would I be able to say that person they could follow me as an example of how to deal with these situations because I am following Christ?
In my case the answer would be sometimes, but not every time.
Every time is the goal. I trust that God’s presence at work within us will one day allow me and you and us to reach it.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
