Which Jesus are you trying to emulate?

[Needs God]

Do we want to be the pre cross Lord Christ that heals the leppers and dispels demons from the possessed, or do we want to be the after cross Christ that when the time comes soon when we are in Heaven and don't need to look back to all of that? I know we all are suffering to be like Christ, but this morning I had a consensus, of the fish and water that tells me, "I think I see the pattern here"; we aren't supposed to want to take the Lord's place in the world, we need to get more proactive, in that we want a world where there is no hunger or thirst. Should you not remember that God uses metaphors when talking of bread and wine? Dare you believe for the moment that we are to be Christ and yet not just simply Christ like and stay for the next 1k years on earth because we didn't want to be like him after all like he was after the resurrection? Our time on earth is temporary yet heaven is forever after, Jesus partakes of the fish and water like he is living among us then why does it yet matter that we have or not have a remembrance? Bread in the bible is not about the communion in general, it's about the Lord when we are to think of him. I'm thinking right now, "good Lord, what are your people missing out on?"

I wrote this story two years ago about psalm 23 and it has made me emotional when I read it.
Almost every time I wake up in the morning, I'm faced with this one question asked by God on my mind, "What would you like to wish for today?", and I almost always answer that question with the thought, (Don't I already have you Lord?). It's not to me a question as it is already the answer; I only need two things to live by, the air that I breath and that my faith has not spoiled because of my past decisions, but are like an azalea flower blooming defiantly in the cold of winter, sure as it is from psalm 23:4, I may walk in shadow of winter, I fear not the cold, because my Lord is a comforting warmth.

Jesus did not come to make the world a better place.
He came to redeem us out of the world and to teach us to love our neighbor.

Yes; please be like Jesus; and thanks for caring for the world. Jesus said when you feed someone, you've fed him. One thing a Christian Forum often lacks, is love for the world...
