Are we good CHRISTians?

I love this thought/story from Francis Chan. He tells a story about a friend of his, Dan, that went to Tijuana, Mexico with Pastor Von. Pastor Von has spent years ministering to a community there in Mexico. As they were walking through the streets and Dan was watching pastor Von minister to the people in this community, Dan realized that if Jesus was still on earth, this is what he would be doing. As Dan was telling this story to Francis, he said this, "The day I spent with Von was the closest thing I've ever experienced to walking with Jesus". This is when it hit Francis, "I could be the best, most popular, well liked pastor in the world, and have the most passion for telling people about Jesus, but if my life doesn't reflect Christ's, it means nothing." What a challenging statement! When was the last time you said that about someone-"_____ was the closest thing I've ever experienced to walking with Jesus". When was the last time someone said that of you? Our lives should so reflect that of Christ's, that we can boast as Paul did in 1 Cor 11-"Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ". May God give us wisdom and courage to live like Christ.
