Thought For Today - April 2
The Likeness Of Christ - By: Robert A. Searles
As Jesus our Savior was the image of the invisible God when he was on
earth, 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 by 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 Holly
Spirit 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 established in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any 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 fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2: 6-10.
