Like Jesus

I want to walk like Jesus did
Beneath this earthly dome
Spreading truth hope and freedom to kin
Until our savior calls us home

I want to spread his gospel news
Of our father’s amazing Grace
And everyone to see the holy Spirit
When they gaze upon my face

I want to be a tailored copy
Of the life that Jesus led
Teaching of the eternal land
Make sure his sheep are fed

I want to be as the faithful Shepherd
Whose heart is pure and true
And tell the story of the mansions
They’ve built for me and you

I want to be like the righteous one
Who has no sweeter name
The Redeemer of all pardons
Hence is why he came

I want to nourish the hungry crowds
Maybe grant a dying wish
Do things that seem impossible
As he did with five loaves and two fish

I want to walk a true Christian Life
Flowing love along the way
And Jesus is the only one
We should edify and portray

But I could never walk like Jesus did
No greater man has no one saw
For when I see the Savior of the cross
From my heart to my knees I shall fall

An Uncommon Call

Jesus’ obedience began in a small town carpentry shop. His uncommon approach to his common life groomed him for his uncommon call. In order to change the world Jesus had to say goodbye to his world. 1 Peter 1:20 (TLB) says, “God chose him for this purpose long before the world began.” Every ounce of suffering had been scripted. It just fell to him to play the part.

When you come up with a word for such love, give it to Christ. For the day he left Nazareth is the day he declared his devotion for you and me. But God, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. Perhaps we’re not so common after all!

He Became Like Us

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves.

There’s a remarkable story about a man injured in a fire. While attempting to save his parents, his face was burned and disfigured. He wouldn’t let anyone see him, including his wife. When she went to a plastic surgeon for help, he assured he could restore her husband’s face. But she wasn’t there to restore her husband’s face. She wanted her face disfigured so she could share in his pain.

It’s the way God feels about us. He took on our face, our disfigurement. He became like us to show us how far he will go to be with the ones he loves.
