Consecration, Portrait of a True Christian

In this the third week of "Consecration", we take it to the next level. For if you have presented your body to Christ as a living sacrifice and are using your gifts to build the church up in unity, it is good to have some reminders of maintaining this each day, and in such a way that you reflect Christ. If you want to know what this looks like, you will hear it today from Pastor Bogdan. If you have ever gone into an art museum you may find some religious art which depicts what Jesus "looks like". We don't know exactly what He looked like, (there was no social media then), so the artist is giving their impression. Imagine if you will that there is another portrait of Jesus that the world sees every day: it's us, the followers of Jesus. All of mankind is made in the image of God, and all true believers in Jesus need to show Jesus, (like an image-bearer), to the world. We are living sacrifices, and in essence living portraits. Is it possible to do this? Yes. Is it easy? Not always, that is why it takes work and allowing the Spirit of God to help us do this. I believe the outcome of this is greater joy and fulfilment in your life and in the church family. So, listen up today, and look in the mirror of God's Word and see what a true Christian looks like.
