I recently heard a pastor give a very meaningful illustration - taken from Chinese Kung Fu comics - of what it means to be Christlike. In these stories, the hero and his opponent usually engage in a duel, and in only a few kung fu strokes (as depicted in the comics), the reader can easily identify which martial arts school each character is from. not only that, but as the story unfolds, the skills of each hero reflect on whether or not the master who taught him was skillful.
The pastor then asked whether people would be able to identify us as followers of Jesus Christ when we make a few "strokes". He explained that the "strokes" we make could be in the manner we speak, in how we conduct our business affairs, in how we relate to our family members, or in how we conduct ourselves in public. I wonder, do our "strokes" identify us as disciples of Christ, or do they bring dishonour to His name?
Jesus gave His disciples this commandment:"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:34-35)
The skill we ought to display is in the way we show love to one another. Our behaviour, speech, and attitude will either reflect love, care and concern or bitterness and selfishness. May we as followers of Christ be more Christlike in the way we love. This happnes when we allow God's Word to transform our lives.
