Thought For Today - October 25 - The Likeness Of Christ!

The Likeness Of Christ!

     As Jesus our savior, when he was on earth, was the image of the invisible God, so we as Christians ought to bear the image of Christ in our bodies while our Lord is now back in heaven with the Father.  We are to be witnesses of him even as he was a revelation and a witness of the Father.  A witness is one who shows forth or proclaims to be true that which is, and that which is true.
     Someone has said that we tend to become like that which we behold and  affix our thoughts upon; then if this  is indeed true, we need to be constantly beholding the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, and be steadfastly fixing  our gaze upon him.  Let his image be formed in us that the world in which we live and have to do will see a reflection of the living Christ in us.  And by our yielding our mortal bodies to him they might truly be his holy temple wherein dwelleth the presence of the Holy and righteous God, established in the faith, and resting securely upon the word of God.  If we  are to be witnesses, then - “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye  in him.  Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in  the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.   Beware lest ny man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition  of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." Colossians 2: 6-10.
