TO BE LIKE JESUS - By Calvin Wulf
Christian Discipleship
It isn't easy being green! I'm beginning to appreciate Kermit's lament more and more. It's a little scary to let go and simply follow Jesus. Will that make me too weird?
"It is enough for the student to be like his teacher," my Rabbi explains. (Matthew 10:25) What will happen when I start to love the way he loves? If I love him and learn his ways, then I will do the same things he does. That might make people around me feel edgy. Maybe nobody will want to be my friend.
The longer I follow Jesus, the more I become like him. Did I count the cost? Everything changes when you enter in the kingdom of heaven. You live by his rules. That might be enough to make me turn green!

Calvin,
Great encouraging words! Sometimes it feels like spiritual leaders are saying that it should be easy to go against the grain (the secular world), but this has proved to be one of my great challenges since accepting Jesus. As I mature in my faith, I have found it does get easier to stop trying to impress people and to live only for God's pleasure.

Hi Dan. Thanks for coming to see. I am impressed that you are living for God in a world that doesn't. Bless everyone you meet and you will become like Jesus.
