What a strange thing to say! What an even stranger thing to title a blog entry! But this morning I read something from Paul in First Corinthians 11:1 that gave me pause:
"Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ"--ESV
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."--KJV
I'm not sure I can say that. Can I truly invite people to imitate me, knowing that will also be an imitation--a following --of the Lord Jesus Christ? I guess it goes back to what our pastor said yesterday--we can get just as close to Jesus as we want because he's given us an open invitation. The hitch is--how close do I want to be close to my Lord?
Some food for deep thought and refelction, isn't it? |
