While it is good for us to remember the power and authority of God (especially over evil), I also feel that there is a risk in portraying Jesus as a bad ass. Namely, that we might start to think that it is this image that we ought to strive for ourselves. Christ did not appease or give in to those in power in his day. He unwaveringly proclaimed the truth, despite the costs. But he was also quick to love others (even his enemies) in humble acts of service and he instructed us to do the same.<br /><br />“Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus,<br />Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.”<br />-Philippians 2:5-8Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875436075411801975noreply@blogger.com
