May 27th 2007 Organic Unity: Kindness that Imitates God (Ephesians 4.25-5.2) Message #4

People love to imitate other people–rock stars, movie stars, heroes and rebels–but that imitation often leaves us isolated from reality and from other people (after all, it’s hard to think of an example of a rock star or a rebel whose life is full of healthy and meaningful interpersonal relationships). The Imitation of Christ does exactly the opposite–full of Christ, we find meaning in engaging one another. No more pretense, no more lies or wannabees–in Christ, we all find our connection in one another.
