• Did you see the BBC interview with Alessio Rastani, a so-called independent financial trader and now BBC financial expert?
• He says things like: "Governments don't rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world", and "I go to bed every night dreaming of another recession".
• His ludicrous statements and obvious self-centeredness raised questions as to how he ended up as a financial expert on the BBC. Others say his part of the Yes Men, who impersonate businessmen to publicly humiliate them.
• It made me think: As a Christian, do I bring Christ's name into disrepute by looking like a cheap imitation, almost an imposter? Do I bring his name into disrepute as Rastani did for trader?
• The short answer is... yes. I do. And so did Paul.
Paul wrote: "Imitate me as I imitate Christ." 1 Corinthians 11:1
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you must cringe as you see us trying to imitate you. How can we think we're joining in your suffering if we do not have a clue what you suffered on the cross. How can we display your righteousness if we don't have an inkling as to what it means to live holy lives. But looking at Paul, a one-time persecutor of Christians who has been transformed by you to lead others to become like you gives us hope. Would you work in us to make us more like you... really. Amen
