Desire To Be Like Jesus
By: Robert A. Searles

      Oh! that we might be like Jesus! What a high and noble calling to be formed in his likeness, and to be joint heirs with him! To have the mind of Christ; to have the heart of Christ; and the attitudes of Christ; that we might know him whom to know aright is eternal and everlasting life. He who was from before the beginning and is now and ever shall be, let us worship him and let us desire to cease to be what we are now and become what he is.

 

 Oh! To be like Jesus! God hath appointed him heir of all things. Oh! To be like Jesus! The brightness of God's glory, and the express image of his person. Oh! To be like Jesus, who being so much better than angels and hath obtained a more excellent name than they.

      We will never attain to the perfection which is in Christ while we are in this body, but we ought to desire to be made perfect as he is perfect. God looks upon the heart, and the motives, and honors good desires.

 

       Oh! To be like Jesus! “God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he hath made the worlds; who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” Hebrews 1: 1-4.

  KJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bible, Comfort Print--soft leather-look, black (indexed)

  Edited By: Dr. Frank Charles Thompson
  Zondervan / 2022 / Imitation Leather
   

  The KJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bible compels you to experience the harmony of God's Word with an optimal cross-reference system that has been enriching the spiritual hearts and minds of believers for over 100 years!

  Scripture is presented with a reference system that acts as a guide, not merely a tool, allowing you to explore a specific topic methodically through the entirety of the text. Relevant scripture verses are linked together, with over 100,000 topical references and 8,000 chain topics, enabling a study of the Bible that is relevant for all of the faithful- from those interested in what the Bible says about a particular word of interest to those wanting to prepare a sermon that delivers the unity of God's special revelation to a divided world.

  Some biblical study helps can be cluttered in with God's Word; unintentionally distracting the reader from the simplicity of biblical truth. You will find, however, that the KJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bible's highly structured and organized cross-reference system has been refined and updated through the years to deliver a reading and study experience that will encourage you to explore Scripture and discover what God has revealed about topics that interest you.
