Question & Answer

                                  What does it mean to be like Jesus?

                                  One reason Jesus came among us was to tell us about God and to lead us to Heaven.  Jesus hoped we would do what he did.
                                   For example, Jesus asked us to love one another as he did.  Some ways Jesus showed love were lending an attentive ear, showing patience in irrtating situations, helping people make good decisions.  Demonstrating love every day is imitating Christ.
                                   Jesus had few possessions himself and sent his disciples out to preach with almost nothing.  He didn't want them to get distracted.  He knew that the more goods we have, the more we'd think about God.  Consider getting rid of what you don't need, and buy only items that replace what is worn out or broken.
                                   Jesus often went off to be alone with God.  Take time each day to keep company with God.  Even as few as 15 minutes will keep you connected to your loving Father.
                                   Doing these things are steps toward living like Jesus.
