How to Be

March 22nd, 2015 · No Comments

Ephesians 5:1 (New Living Translation)

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.

The first two words summarize the Christian life. I also like the wording in the New English Translation:

Therefore, be imitators of God as dearly loved children

A few years ago there was a big campaign in America around the words, “What Would Jesus Do?” Like many such campaigns, people eventually tired of it and even mocked it.

Still, this verses answers the questions, “What should we do? What should we be?”

Funny how we can make it seem so much more complicated and sticky and icky and lots of other things.
