February 22, 2021 Like Jesus – Romans 8：22-30

An old chorus says, “To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus. My desire, to be like Him.” It is impossible using our power and works in our capablility to become like Jesus. However, it’s not left to ourselves. The Holy Spirit has been given to the child of God and Christ can be formed in us. “My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you.” (Galatians 4:19)

As there is no surprise that in Paul’s great chapter on the Spirit we read, “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”(Romans 8:29). God will see His work completed in us. And He does it through the Spirit of Jesus living in us. As we yield to the Spirit’s work in us, we truly become more like Jesus. How comforting to know that’s God’s great desire for us!
