Jesus our model

Accepting Jesus as our model is surely the goal of every Christian

We certainly have a Greek nature, as I have argued elsewhere, and the New Testament pointedly highlights that the “Greeks” (or Gentiles/ Heathens)constantly seek their worldly wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:22) at the expense of God’s revelation. Our Greek nature is inherited via our opposition to God and it is imbibed through the worldly system in which we live. By contrast, we have to embrace our Hebraic natures. It is God’s desire that we are transformed into Jesus’ likeness, which means that ideally the World should see us as an assembly of ‘little Jesuses’. This is a Hebraic imperative, flowing freely from Scripture, yet has been overhauled by the Greek insistence on argument, in preference to action!
