GETTING THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST

    Two artists were asked each to make a copy of a famous painting. The one made mathematical calculations and produced a technically correct copy.

    The other studied the painting, entered into the spirit of the artist, and produced not merely an imitation, but a picture which glowed with warmth and life. 

    We are not, as Christians, simply to copy Christ, but rather to become possessed of his spirit and so reflect his life in our lives. Let us aim to become possessed of the spirit of Christ, and so model his life and Spirit.
