Like father, like son....think about it! I remember hearing that saying as a child in a commercial. As a father, we must realize that our kids watch us and mimic us. This is so true, but many homes do not have a father present or if there is one, one worth mimicking. So what do we do?
Let's look to Jesus! He followed His Father's will as He lived in human flesh! How do we follow His example? We love as He loved. ( (Eph. 5:1-2; 1 Jn. 3:15-16) We forgive as He forgave. ((Col. 3:13) We serve as He served. ( (Jn. 13:15)
The apostle Paul gives us the best advice on how to be like our Father and His Son . . .
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
Like father, like son . . . like Paul . . . we have the examples to follow. Now let's get to living it out!
