To be like Christ

What does it take to be like Christ?

Jesus came and showed us who He is;

1. He is Jesus the King (John 18:37)

³⁷. Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a King. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

JOHN 18:37

2. He is Jesus the Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16)

¹⁴. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. ¹⁵. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

HEBREWS 4:14-16

3. He is Jesus, the Servant (Mark 10:45)

⁴⁵. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

MARK 10:45

TO BE LIKE CHRIST, we have to understand that there is a king in you, a priest, and a servant in all of us. It is the servant side of Jesus that He took in order for Him to go to the cross, died and Father God resurrected him on the 3rd day, for man to be redeemed from the curse of the law, and death.

The Four ‘Leadership’ Faces of Ezekiel 1, Ezekiel 10, and Revelation 4 Paralleled by the Four Gospels. The four faces represent a lion, an ox, a man, and an eagle. Each face is a metaphor of what a leader or manager needs to be—all at the same time.

• The lion metaphor implies strength and confidence,
• the ox metaphor implies work, service, and dedication,
• the man metaphor implies humanity and caring, while
• the eagle metaphor implies keen vision and awareness of both the immediate and future environment.

We see from here that Man, has 3 animals faces (Lion, OX, Eagle) in him. There is a LION, an OX, and an EAGLE in every man.

It is the LION side that embraces Kingship, strength, leadership, WISDOM.
It is the OX side that embrace Servanthood, service, businesses, work!!, finance, PROSPERITY.
It is the EAGLE side that embraces Priesthood, Spiritual side, ANOINTING

Parallel to MANs trinity – BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT
