Have you ever thought how much you are like your parents? Some of you might not like to admit it, but have you ever thought about how much you have the same personality traits that they do? Have you ever considered how you enjoy doing many of the same types of things that they do? I realized this week how much I am like my dad in personality, interests, and even some of the activities that I choose. Because of this, whenever I am in public, I represent my father. How I act reflects on how he raised me and the things he trained me to do. This morning I was reading in John 8 and Jesus says in verse 19 “if you knew me, you would know my father also.” Jesus was so much like his father that if people got to know him and believed in him, they would know God because they are so much alike. Here’s the real question…can people tell who your father is? When you are around them, can they know without a shadow of a doubt that you are God’s child because you are so much like him? I think this is a great challenge for all of us…let’s be imitators of God today!
