showing correspondence

Christ’s entire life must supply the norm for the Christian and
for the life of the whole Church. One has to take every particu-
lar aspect of Christ’s life straight from his baptism to his resur-
rection and show correspondence. What else does it mean to be
a Christian?         – s.k.

resolved: simply, honestly, somehow…. I will find a way to show correspondance to each particular aspect of his life, “big and small”  what a picture. what a challenge. but as always “At least we can admit our weakness instead of reducing the requirement.”

At the very least

We could at least be truthful before God and admit our weakness instead of reducing the requirement. -S.K.

I found myself in the Gospels (Vangeli) and pondering belief. Christ, upon being asked what men should do, (John 6) answered, believe in He who was sent. That is the requirement, believe in Jesus. Yet, many will habitually and continually make up stories about their weak belief being strong, instead of praying about their unbelief. I am admitting mine this week. God help me overcome my unbelief. “His power is very great for those of us who believe.”
