Next Sunday is all yours. We’re going to
put your name at the top of the banner and proclaim you to be the model
citizen; that is, the one everyone else should imitate. The Apostle Paul urged
his readers to imitate him (1 Cor. 4:16; 11:1); and so, as we imitate him
imitating Christ, perhaps we should all take a seat in that head chair. As you
assume this powerful position, all your brothers and sisters in Christ will do
as you do; they will attend, participate, listen, give, serve, fellowship, show
hospitality, pray, sing, study, and witness just
like you. They will imitate your attitude and duplicate your dedication.
Perhaps we can extend your role for several weeks (if you like).
So, what kind of church will we see at the
end of this experiment? Improved or diminished?
1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in
love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. ―Ephesian 5:1
