“What does it mean to follow Christ? I think a lot of us end up only admiring Christ instead of truly following Him. Admirers are only linked to the admired through the thrill of the imagination. But followers end up doing as the leader does.
In an attempt to look like Jesus we have simply not looked like the world but very little like Christ. Our obedience has been defined by what we don’t do, when our obedience should be defined by what we do for the world our God so loved.
You see God loves the world, so a Christian does too. But to reach the world, we need not to become big but small, because when we need less, we can give more. And because we have given to those in need, they now need less for themselves and can give more too.”
James Barnett in the video on the Cloth Your Neighbor as Yourself website.
