All I wanted is to be like Jesus

Jesus Christ life is one of the most inspiring and motivating of all times, For thousands of year he has been the source of strength to the weak, he is the guide, the master. He has let people's life from utter hopelessness to complete hope.

Following his footsteps is very crucial to know the way to God, As Jesus said: "I am the Way, Truth and Life".

But there is a cost that each and everyone has to pay.

Matthew 16:24 NIV
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.


To Seek his Kingdom First:
Matthew 6:33 NIV
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.


Loving God and others:
Luke 10:27
He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"


It should be our prayer, Our hope, Our life.... to follow him.

saying and believing - "Jesus you are the way, The truth and the life. There is no one like you.

You are the inspiration of all times you are the friend in the times of my distress, you are my hiding place, my hope, my redeemer.


In him most distressed moment of time he never gave up his mission:

Just before the night he arrested, in the last supper, He washed his disciples foot and set us an example.

At the cross when everyone humiliating him, He said,"Father, Forgive them for they does not know what they are doing".

Philippians 2

New International Version (NIV)

Imitating Christ’s Humility

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death
        even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.


HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY AHEAD
