Mirror Jesus

Mirroring Jesus in our faith is the highest calling of every Christian. Firstly, we mirror Him through our compassion—Jesus always saw the one. Whether it was a leper, a child, or a widow, He stopped and loved them. Secondly, we mirror Him through obedience. Jesus said, “Not my will, but thine, be done” even when it led to the cross. Thirdly, we mirror Him through forgiveness. On the cross, He prayed, “Father, forgive them.” To be like Christ is to live sacrificially, love unconditionally, and serve humbly.

Ephesians 5:2 says, “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour” (KJV). When we choose love, obedience, and forgiveness, our lives begin to reflect His glory to a watching world.

If you want to Mirror Jesus, it doesn’t require perfection—just surrender.
