Who?

Who are we called to be like?
Like our Dad?
Like our sporting heroes?
Or like Jesus?

How are we supposed to be changed?
Bit by bit?
Stumble by stumble?
Or in the twinkling of an eye?

Are we called to be more like Christ,
Or less like others?
Are we called to live in unity,
Or self-righteous isolation?

Do we remember the Cross,
The reality of two nights in the grave?
Or do we just celebrate Easter,
Ignoring the cost and living for ourselves?

My Jesus dies on a Friday - Rises on a Sunday.
Walking ahead of me on the path to the Cross,
Slowly and patiently to give me time to catch Him up.
To walk in His footsteps.

He lives for eternity and takes me with Him.

What about yours?
