I came across a great song by Ben Harper tonight called Picture of Jesus. I want you to read the last verse and chorus:

Some days have no beginning
And some days have no end
Some roads are straight and narrow
And some roads only bend

So let us say a prayer
For every living thing
Walking towards a light
From the cross of a king

We long to be a picture of Jesus
Of Jesus
In his arms
In his arms so many prayers rest

I long to be a picture of Jesus
With him we shall be forever blessed

In 2 Corinthians Paul says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit (3:17-18).”

To be a picture of Jesus to the world is the challenge. The good news is that you don’t have to go about this transformation on your own. In fact, you can’t do it on your own no matter how strong you are or how determined you may be.

The Spirit transforms you into the picture of Jesus- transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory- road by road, day by day, minute by minute.

What an amazing blessing and an amazing promise! Amen!
