Many christians are striving to become more like Jesus. To do as Jesus did and be the example of how Jesus is.
As I was watching a drama put on at a church the drama demonstrated God the Father and Jesus the Son discussing the plans to redeem man kind. God the Father was explaining to Jesus of all the things Jesus would have to go through to redeem us. The Father was explaining how Jesus was going to be born among animals, ridiculed, accused and rejected. The Father goes on to explain how he was going to be hungry and suffer great pain and humility. He was going to have to humble himself to be as we are. Jesus then tells the Father that it is worth the price to pay to redeem all mankind and that in the end all glory would be unto the Father and that in its self was enough for Him to go through with the plan.
To be as Jesus is, is to be selfless. He knew what he had to do before He came and still he was willing to humble himself and become a servant to all. to be an example for how he wants us to live. To master selflessness, putting away pride and positions. Jesus is the Son of God! He has the Highest position in all things heaven, earth and under the earth, yet He washed His follower`s feet. He was willing to do these things to show us and teach us how to become more like Him.
Some lyrics to a song I found by Bryan Adams:
"can ya lay your life down - so a stranger can live
can ya take what ya need - but take less than ya give
could ya close everyday - without the glory and fame
could ya hold ya head high - when no-one knows your name
thats how legends are made - at least thats what they say...
can ya lose everything - ya ever had planned
can ya sit down again - and play another hand
could ya risk everything - for the chance of being alone
under pressure find the grace - would you come undone
thats how legends are made"
At the end of a day what have you done for others?
