21 Pentecost: The imitation of Christ

8:00 AM

Thanks to the On Being Blog for this fantastic quote which, I thinks, adds an additional layer of depth to Jesus' statement that "the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve."

When the imitation of Christ does not mean to live a life like Christ, but to live as authentically as Christ lived, then there are many ways and forms in which a man can be a Christian.

--Henri J. M. Nouwen from The Wounded Healer
How might you live a life of service to others as authentically as Jesus did?  How might striving for this sort of authenticity change your life and worldview?
