A Mile in His Shoes
There is an old saying that says you must walk a mile in
a person’s shoes before you can really know or understand that person. You must
experience their daily trials and triumphs.
I think this same principle can apply to our walk with Christ.
Many wish to know and understand the nature of
Christ. The best and only way this can be accomplished is to do the things that
Christ did while He was here on earth. When speaking to the disciples He
repeatedly told them to do as He did. 1 Peter 2:21 says that Christ left us an
example that we should follow in his steps. If we follow the character of Christ, walk a
mile in His proverbial shoes, we will know Christ. Not only will we know Christ,
but we will become like Him. Christ beckons us to follow Him down the pathways of life.
