Imitate Me!

People use many methods to broadcast their message to the world.  Some wear a button or adhere a bumper sticker to their car.  Others wear a message emblazend across their t-shirt.  Now we even see messages tatooed on bodies.  What message would you like to broadcast?

I am amazed at the boldness of Paul’s statement in I Corinthians 11:1 which says “Imitate me, just as I also [imitate] Christ.”  Would I wear a T-shirt with that statement?  Could I say that?  Imagine a button proclaiming “Do what I do, because I am following Jesus!”  Could I, even on my best day, wear that button?  Whew!  I think it would be hard to wear that button, since I know my attitudes, weaknesses and failures.  Or maybe wearing that button would motivate me, being a reminder that there are always those who are watching my example.

If people imitated you, would the world see Jesus?
