I want to be like Jesus!

These seven verses will identify me for the rest of my life.


Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.


And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!


Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.



What a motto to live by. What a creed, a pledge, an oath.

Be like Jesus!

HE was superman... even more super than superman. But he didn't want it. He gave it away. He gave away His awesomeness so that we may life. He served us in love. He served as much as he could. He even died on a cross for us. He could have been superman... but he humbled himself and died for us.

Se we can win. So that the good guys win. Someday we will have a big awesome pep rally... everything will worship GOD! Everything will fall down and thank Him for His gift... His awesome gift of restoration.

I love these seven verses. They are a part of me forever.

BE LIKE JESUS!
