One of the nicest compliments one of my parent’s friends gave me years ago was that I was so much like my dad. Do you think we can be daughters or sons that look like our Father? (Like our Father God)? I think the most wonderful compliment we could ever have is that we look just like, act like, or resemble – Jesus. One of my favorite songs has a line in it that says, I see the work of Calvary in you. What Jesus did on the cross has made a difference in you and me. That means that I can see Jesus showing through you. We are demonstrating Jesus. We are reflecting Him. We are giving the world a mirror image of what Jesus looks like. So what should a mirror image of Jesus look like? That’s a good question. The best answer to that is LOVE. The main thing that Jesus emanates is love. For us as believers, it is love that makes faith work. Love is who God is, and love is something we can do, walk and operate in. The best way we can look like Jesus is to love others. Isn’t it amazing the Word says, they will know we are Christians (Christ- like) by our LOVE? As men and women, we can love lavishly. That’s when we look the most like our Father!
