The best way to please God • Think the way Jesus thought • Speak the way He spoke • Act the way He behaved • Desire what He desired • Hate what He hated
What Jesus Did • He loved the lowly and opposed the haughty. Cp. Lk. 18:10ff; Rom. 12:16 • He healed the unhealthy. Cp. Matt. 9:10ff • He forgave the fallen. Jn. 8:1ff • He devoted His life to God because God was sanctified in His heart. Cp. Col. 3:16-17
Superseding The What: Why ‘What’ Jesus had power because of the purpose (please God) and attitude (love) behind His actions. 1 Cor. 13:1ff
More Like Jesus • When we become Christians we made the decision to “put on Christ” • At some point we become so fully trained as disciples of Christ (Lk. 6:40) that we concur with Paul: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me…” Gal. 2:20
