Along the way I’ve discovered when I’m unsure of what to do in any given situation in my life, the perfect life of Christ always reveals the right path.
But the pictures I’ve cherished of Jesus since childhood have recently been shattered as I’ve began to truly study the life of Christ in earnest. You see, Jesus came to walk with the beggars, talk with the thieves, eat with the prostitutes, and touch the filthy, unclean lepers—He came to commune with sinners.
The truth is that living like Jesus is radical, it’s extreme, it’s even what some would call fanatical; it’s living love in ever part of my life. It is love in action.
The deep wisdom and life-changing truth found in Jesus’ life has never failed to be a flawless guidebook for my life. When I stand at a crossroads on life’s path, wondering which way I should go, I find the wisdom of Jesus is exactly what I need—every single time. I’ve also discovered that God’s answer is rarely what I expect, and it’s often not what I would choose for myself; but, thankfully, God’s ways are always better.
So join me as I stop looking to the world for wisdom to guide me through life and look instead to the perfect life of Christ.
Final Thought: Being a follower of Christ requires a radical life change.
