For those who would like to finish reading this little booklet by John Bunyan, I’ll let you do it through reading this PDF document.  I highly recommend finishing the reading of it for those who began.  It provides great encouragement to finish the race that is set before us.

The Heavenly Footman

I do not know yet how the Lord will direct me, but I would like to do more blogging with tidbits from my quiet moments with the Lord and  His Word.

May the Lord bless you, my dear friend, with more of the likeness of Jesus Christ in your life.

Is Jesus like anybody we know?

(J. R. Miller,  The Joy of Service” 1902)

“The one who says he abides in Him–ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6

A little child, after reading in the New Testament one day, asked her mother, “Is Jesus like anybody we know?” The child was eager to discover just what were the elements of the character of Christ, His disposition, His spirit, the mindthat was in Him.

The mother ought to have been able to answer, “Yes, I am trying to be like Jesus; if you will look at my life, and study my character–you will see a little of what Jesus is like.”

Every follower of Christ should be able to say the same to all who know him. The likeness is imperfect, for in many things we come short; but, if we are true Christians, we must be trying to live as He would–if He were in our place.

“Leaving you an example–so that you should follow in His steps.” 1 Peter 2:21
