Good Morning,
In some of my readings over the last few months I have come across a topic which kept speaking to me. This topic is how all Christians are urged to follow a Christ-Like attitude and behavior in how they live their lives, with the caveat that different people have a different veiwpoint of what Christ was like.
It appears that there is a range of beliefs of how Christ conducted his life, as there is a range of behaviors which people are displaying in the name of being Christian.
I am still relatively new in my walk with the Lord and I have been doing an extensive amount of reading on the subject, as well as talking to various 'professionals' in the field to better understand the incongruities that I have been seeing.
To give you an example, I have encountered people who were very strong in their faith who also felt the need to be better than others. I have also encountered people who acted as if being a Christian was an exclusive club where only a few were welcome to join.
In the word and in many of the texts that I have read and reviewed, Christ never came across with a 'Holier than Thou' approach to those who were fellow believers. The fact he IS God gave him every right, but he remained humble. The Lord has asked us believers to spread the Gospel to all parts of the world. This does not mean exclusive parts of each part of the world, but to everyone. In our attempt to be Christ-Like, we might want to make sure that we have a better understanding of who Christ is and what his attributes are.
I only hope that I am doing the Lord proud in my walk, where I hope to learn more each and every day. While I have learned a lot, there is so much more to know.
Thank you!
