How can we get power to copy our model, Jesus Christ?
1. Learn of Christ. Do not look to men. In the eleventh chapter of Hebrews Paul tells of Old Testament worthies, but lest we should try to imitate them he immediately turns away our eyes and fixes them on Jesus, --"looking unto Jesus.”
2. Claim by faith the promises of the indwelling Christ. Until we are born again, and He lives in us by the Spirit, all our efforts will be vain.
3. Keep in touch with Him. Get better acquainted with Him. Talk to Him in prayer. Let Him talk to you through the Bible.
It is a recognized fact that two persons thrown together a good deal are apt to become alike in habits of thought and conduct, and even in looks.
It is said of the early disciples that the rulers “took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.” Moses had a shining face after he had been with God.
