If a disciple of Jesus is someone who follows Jesus and looks more and more like Him as they walk through this life, then we must ask the question, “What did the life of Jesus look like?” In other words, as Jesus lived out His daily life, what did that look like? In my opinion, part of the answer lies in Galatians 5:22-23. This is the passage that lists the fruit of the Spirit. I believe that when you look at the fruit of the Spirit you are actually looking at the character and personality of Christ. So we know that as we grow in Christ and are being filled with the Holy Spirit and transformed by the Spirit into the image of Christ, we will look more and more like Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit will become more and more evident in our lives.
However, I want us to think more specifically about what the daily life of Jesus looked like. I realize there could be many answers to this question and they would probably all be correct. But, if you looked at the daily life of Jesus with, say, a telescope instead of a microscope, what would be the overall description of His daily life? If you had to narrow it down to just a few things, what would they be? If you were to offer a half dozen or so one-word descriptions of the daily life of Jesus, what would they be?
Think about it. Next time, I would like to share my thoughts on what those characteristics would be.
In Christ’s service, Allen
