When you look in the mirror what do you see? Sure, your physical attributes are readily visible. But when you look deeper perhaps you see your father’s mischievous grin in the corner of your mouth, your mother’s compassion in the set of your eyes or your grandfather’s determination in the wrinkle of your forehead? Those attributes may not physically be there, but they are a memory or a reflection of the significant people around you. These important people have left imprints on you, is Christ’s imprint visible?
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” “For the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true, and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:1, 2, 9 & 10 ESV
If we claim that we are Christians and are children of God, there should be evidence of Him in our lives. Just like the important people in your life have left their mark on you, Christ’s mark should also be evident. The minute we reflect something opposite to what Christ embodies, we create doubt. That’s a lot of responsibility. But the beautiful part is that we don’t bear this entire burden, all we have to do is allow Christ to live within us. So who is the fairest of them all?
In the following posts we are going to outline how to allow Christ to take residence in you.
To being wise,
