DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.
The young mind of a child is an amazing organ. Over the course of several years, it will learn language, emotions, and motor skills just by observing others. A child’s mind will imitate what it sees, hears, and experiences; so parents have a very important job of what they do and say in front of their children.
As adults, we, too, will continue to take in information by what we see, hear, and experience. Most likely, we will end up imitating those things in our lives as well. The Apostle Paul says it is best to imitate God. For some of us that may seem a little far-fetched. After all, who can imitate the unseen? Well, fortunately, God came down from heaven and was the man Jesus. So, for Paul, he said we all would do well to imitate the life of Jesus. We should imitate how he treated other people, how he showed mercy and compassion, how he showed love to strangers, and how he put others’ needs before his own. I challenge you today to imitate Jesus in every situation you have.
