We shall be like HIm

 

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.- 1 John 3.1-3

 

When He appears. Three marvellous words.

 

When, not if

He, Jesus, our Jesus

Appears, we are going to see Him.

 

That’s amazing enough. But know we read that when He appears we will be like Him.

 

Wait? We shall be like Him?

 

The key here is the first part of this verse. God has loved us so much that He calls us His children. We are the children of God! We don’t know yet what the full impact of this is yet, but when He does appear we will finally be like Him. Children are like their parents.

 

All through life we Christians are told to follow Jesus’ steps and follow Him and to walk as He walked. It’s tough in this broken world, but one day sin’s  if we will be broken and I will finally be like Him.

 

O what a day!
