Christ like

"And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds." ( Acts 26 : 29 )

Paul, the apostle who was on trial in Rome, proclaimed the gospel of Christ even while presenting his case. His speech was able to persuade King Agrippa himself to put his faith in Christ. "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." ( Acts 26 : 28 )

The apostle Paul speaks today's verse as an answer to him. That is, Paul wanted everyone who heard his gospel to become believers in Christ like him.

So far no one born in the world have the courage or quality to speak such words as the apostle Paul. Yes, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." ( 1 Corinthians 11 : 1 ) he said.

Beloved, may not say like Paul today. But how much zealous love he had for Christ can be understood by looking at his life. That love moved him to live for Christ, to imitate Him, and to die for Him.

Today, the life of the Apostle Paul is an example for us. When talking about the life of Christ, some people do not understand his human nature and say, "He is the Son of God, and we cannot live like him. The answer to them is the life and speech of the apostle Paul.

Those who say that Christ is the Son of God and therefore cannot live like Him, can't they have faith on Paul's words "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." and follow him? Many saints have lived on this earth just like us as human beings. But they have dedicated themselves to live a holy life and lived.

Even ordinary worldly people always advise others to "aim higher". How important, then, for us as Christians to have that goal above all else!!!

We must run toward our goal, Christ. We need the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit to run like that. Let our goal be to become like Christ or at least like the Apostle Paul. Let's try to change ourselves and live like that; Let's pray. Lord himself will help us to fulfill our desire.
