It\u2019s good to read<\/i> about what Jesus did when He walked among us. But when you see someone living<\/i> the way He did, it\u2019s called \u2018putting skin on Jesus\u2019. Instead of just being an historic figure, His lifestyle becomes a reality. And isn\u2019t that what people are looking for? <\/p>\n
Gandhi once said if he could meet Christians who were like Christ, he\u2019d become one too. Unfortunately, the Christians he knew carried weapons and subjected him and his people to servitude. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. Jesus said, \u2018Whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.\u2019<\/i> <\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019re wondering how we could possibly do greater works than Jesus. Here\u2019s how: He was one man confined to one place, whereas His redeemed family is capable of multiplying His works throughout the world. So what was Jesus like? For starters, He was compassionate, not condemning. Remember the woman caught in the act of adultery? When the Pharisees wanted to stone her, He said, \u2018Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!\u2019<\/i> (John 8:7 NLT) Ouch! Who was Jesus talking about? The Pharisees or the religious hierarchy? No, He was talking about Himself! He<\/i> was the only one without sin and He had no stones to throw! If you want to know what \u2018putting skin on Jesus\u2019 looks like, the Bible lists these nine \u2018fruits\u2019 (or Christlike qualities) that the Holy Spirit wants to produce in your life: \u2018love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.\u2019<\/i> (Galatians 5:22\u201323 NLT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
