So you say you want to be like Christ. Really? How far will you follow him? To the cross\u2026Are you willing to endure the pain of others sins? Do you love him and me that much? I started thinking about it this morning. At first, I thought sure no problem. I can feel his pain and love as deeply. Then I started to look at it more logically.<\/p>\n

Ok, let us do a little equating to put it in some sort of perspective. One little white lie equals a sore which will not heal. One moment speaking ill of someone equals a rash that will not go away. So you are saying to yourself this isn\u2019t so bad. Don\u2019t worry; we haven\u2019t even begun to list everyone\u2019s sin that you will be carrying.<\/p>\n

Did someone take God\u2019s name in vain? That\u2019s a commandment. Let\u2019s make that one equate to a strand of hair following out of your head for every time someone uses God\u2019s name in vain. Now, I know you most probably starting to look pretty bad. Bear in mind you need to love all those people. I know it is getting hard. I mean you are starting to look pretty bad.<\/p>\n

How many times have you been to a party where people were being a glutton? Yes, they didn\u2019t know when to quit eating. Whether you realized it or not, gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. Well guess what one time being a glutton has caused your breath to stink. Every time someone is a glutton, your stench gets worse. People are turning up their noses when they come near you. Some are even pinching their nostril shut and trying not to vomit. It\u2019s getting bad. Moreover, we are just beginning.<\/p>\n

Oh, do you remember that person who killed all those people and all the hate he felt? He gave you one of the cancers for each person he killed. In addition to him, so did everyone who killed someone. You are feeling bad about now. Consequently, how many types of cancer do you have? Do you still want to follow Christ and be just like him? It\u2019s getting pretty difficult now. You are tired, and not looking your best. People are starting to look like you are a pariah. They turn their head because they can\u2019t bear to look at you.<\/p>\n

Do you know someone who does things to get even with others? That is called vengeance. This gives you necrotizing fasciitis (a flesh eating bacterial infection). A new puss pocket pops up for every thought that is allowed to go to fruition. Getting rid of it is nearly impossible because people won\u2019t just stop trying to get even with others.\u00a0 Some people scoff at you and call you names.\u00a0 Some are turning their backs to you – trying to pretend you don’t exist.<\/p>\n

Now, I know I am envious every now and then. That is \u201cThou shall not covet thy neighbor\u2019s goods.\u201d Sometimes I wish I had more like others, instead of being happy where God has me at this moment. Well, you just got from me Trigeminal Neuralgia that causes pain. I am sorry that I did that to you. I will try to do better. Oops! There I go again. However, I am not the only person who is doing it to you. Did you notice Jed, Frank, Tookie, Betty Jo, and all those others who are wishing they had what others have?
\nYou are getting the idea, now.<\/p>\n

If we equated all the sins we know about to an ailment, at what point would we want to give up? Do we have God\u2019s stamina? When I start equating it to a disease or even bullwhipped for everyone\u2019s sin, I wonder how much I love you. Can I carry your sins as Jesus did? Keep in mind he still loves us. He asks us to do the same.<\/p>\n

Then I look at what Christ went through, I wonder. He endured so much. Do I have what it takes? Can I still love and give without holding a grudge and wishing vengeance on others? God does. I am not asking you to love to the depth that Jesus does. I am asking myself if I can. Can I mortify my senses for Christ, and what he does for me? How can I lessen His load?<\/p>\n

It has put things in perspective. Today after thinking like that, I found that I could not be so hard on others and needed to pray more fervently. I needed to be more forgiving, more loving, and like Christ and try to endure other\u2019s sins in the same manner that Christ did without a sound—like a sheep before the shearers.<\/p>\n\n\n
