What does it mean to imitate Christ?
Ephesians 5:1-2
If we think about Jesus’ life, it wasn’t just his sacrifice on the cross that pleased God. It was the daily surrender of his life. The way he walked in love, the way he cared for others, the way he sought his Father’s will and dwelled in unity with the Father and the Spirit. Long before Jesus offered his life on the cross for us, he made his life an offering—a sacrifice of praise—to His Father. And this is what we are called to do—to imitate this sacrifice, to make our lives a sacrifice of worship, praise, and thanksgiving. A “fragrant offering” that brings pleasure to God and blessing to all those around us.
