“JESUS IN YOUR SHOES”
WHAT IF JESUS WALKED IN YOUR SHOES?
“Be Imitators of God and Walk in Love” Eph.5:1
If He were in your shoes how would He treat your next door neighbor? …..or person who is your thorn in the flesh,…..or the boss that drives you insane? How far would He walk to help the sick coworker,…. the lonely widow, …..the man with addiction?
IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES?
If He were in your shoes how much time would He spend on social media, …..his favorite TV addition,…..or at the golf course or body building at the gym?
If He put on your expensive Nike kicks or 200 dollar hiking boots how much would He sacrifice to give to needy families or missionaries in the jungle?
IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES ?
To “imitate” Jesus means to think the same way and copy Him.
It Means Do as He does ,,,,,,, Love other people of the world
It Means Follow His example Help them with their needs
It Means Be like Him and tell them the good news of eternal life
SO WHEN I IMITATE JESUS
I try to think as He would think about life…..do not lay up treasures on earth but treasures in heaven
I endeavor to follow his commands…… seek first the kingdom of God and His right ways of living
I strive to care about what He cares about……. consider all the children of the world they are His children
I decide to pray the way Jesus prays……. My Father in heaven your kingdom come in my life and not my will but yours be done.
I copy the places He goes in the world….. to the sick, lonely, hurting, wounded, disadvantaged, and forgotten
IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES ?
I often forget and go do what He doesn’t want me to do
and I too often say what embarrasses Him
and I forget and neglect the things He asks of me.
He is always there but I forget His presence and when I doubt
I push Him out
SO LET ALL OF US IMITATE JESUS AND
Go into all the world wear the shoes good news like He did
Be a good Samaritan like He was
Forgive the one who hurt you like He forgave His enemies
Sacrifice for others and serve the needy
Be a servant with a wash basin of humility for everyone
Believe Him for miracles and live by faith
until next time
let’s walk in love
and imitate Him
