Scattered Fruit
READ:
John 13:3-15Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
The story is told of a Christian who was home on furlough from serving in the armed forces. He was rushing to catch his train when he ran into a fruit stand on the station platform, knocking most of the piled-up apples to the ground.
The young boy who operated the stand tried to pick up his scattered fruit but was having difficulty. The apologetic serviceman put down his luggage and started collecting the apples. He polished each one with his handkerchief and put it back on the counter. So impressed was the boy that he asked gratefully, Soldier, are you Jesus? With a smile the soldier replied, No, but Im trying to be like Him.
Sometimes, as we hurry about our own responsibilities, we become too busy to care about other people. But we must remember that Jesus urges us to show kindness and concern for our fellow travelers. He set the example for us in John 13 by being a servant. We need to take the time to be helpful also.
Would anyone ask of us, Are you Jesus? And could we honestly respond, No, Im not Jesus, but Im trying to be like Him? Christlike kindness can open the door for a heart-touching testimony.
Be like Jesus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus, all day long!
I would be like Jesus. Rowe
Nothing is more attractive than being like Jesus.
