A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Christians”
Acts 11:26
…………..And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
I have heard my Mother say a million times, “Boy, you could never deny that kid, he looks just like you.” It is always such an honor for our own children to favor us. I love to hear someone tell me that even my grandkids look like me. We all favor someone in our looks. Who do we favor in our actions and deeds? In the previous verses Barnabas was described as a good man full of the Holy Ghost and faith. Wonder who his actions and deeds looked like? The meaning for Christian is: having the spirit or qualities of Christ. To be Christ like. When I say “I am a Christian” it means a lot. It’s who I am. It’s what I breath, what I eat, what I sleep with and what I wake up with. In Him I live and breathe and move and have my being. Praise His name; we are made in the image of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God!!
Today take a look in the mirror and then take a look in the Living Word and see just who you look. Do you look like yourself or do you favor Jesus?
