GROW UP - by Calvin Wulf
Christian Discipleship~
The life goal of a Christian is to become more and more like Christ every day. After all, the name Christian means a person who follows Christ and lives in his way. Have you organized your life in a way so that you can imitate Christ until you represent his divine being?
"God became human so that humans can become God," said Athanasius of Alexandria in the 4th century. Whoever is born of the Spirit has a capacity for Christ to grow in them. Like all living beings, Jesus in you and you in Jesus need nurturing to grow.
Prayer and contemplation supply the spiritual fuel that feeds this fire of love in you. Remember that God is love. Begin to imitate Jesus by loving and blessing every person who crosses your path. Meditate on scripture and study the ancient Christian spiritual masters. Do these things until the world can see the Father's love in your very being. Then you'll be like Jesus.
