Does anyone here really want to try to imitate the acts of the Holy Messiah during his earthly ministry?
Yes. I do.
I want to be Christ to my wife, and my children, and to my neighbor.
Jesus went away to pray and fast, so why shouldn't fathers ? Are they not fighting spiritual battles over their households ?
1Co 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Eph 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
1Th 1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
Heb 6:12 so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
