Goodmorning,
When we look at Jesus Christ, we realize that there is a twofold strangeness about him. There is, first, the strangeness of his deity...
But there is also the strangeness of his humanity. Though genuinely human, he is unique in his humanity. He is totally sinless. His obedience to the Father is perfect, his prayer life is unexcelled, his love for people is fathomless. And when we realize that this strangeness makes us ashamed, because it tells us what we all should be like. The strangeness of the human Jesus holds a mirror before us; it is an exemplary strangeness, for it tells us what God’s intentions are for each of us.
— Anthony A. Hoekema, Created in God's Image
1 Cor 16:49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that you came in the flesh, showing us what it looks like when the Gospel dwells in a human. Please help me to follow the lead of the Spirit through the Word in order to become more and more like you. Amen
Regards
Rev. Kruger de Kock
