I urge you, then, be imitators of me. – 1 Corinthians 4:16
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ – 1 Corinthians 11:1
Join in imitating me – Philippians 3:17
Imitate. Imitate. Imitate.
This is Paul’s consistent drumbeat for the early followers to grow in their faith and learn to live in the Kingdom.
But how does that sit with you? Does Paul want us just to try and be like somebody else? Shouldn’t I be focusing on being the best ‘me’ I can be? Does this mean I’m not enough as I am?
It may feel like a strange idea to us. It might even rub us the wrong way. We’re usually taught to stand out, be original, be unique – not follow in someone else’s footsteps.
So what does this drumbeat of imitation mean? What can we learn from it? And how can we do it?
All of that and more on this episode!
