The One to Follow

Philippians 3:17
Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us.

It may sound arrogant of St. Paul to tell the Philippians to be more like him…but Paul is a man who was completely changed. Once a persecutor of Christians (persecution that even led to their murders)…Paul became a man totally dedicated to following and serving Christ. It came about through a mysterious encounter with the risen Lord. Then Paul became the one persecuted! But despite the persecution…he had a new found inner peace and joy because he was following the Christ. If you want the same contentment…follow Jesus!
