Hebrews 12:1-3
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (NIV)
I would like to know who is your number two model in your life, Jesus the Messiah should obviously be number one. Is there someone in history, or in recent times that encourages you to live a more Christ like life? It can be a Catholic saint (an odd concept for sure, but we won't go there) such as St Brendan, a missionary like Amy Carmichaell or Pere Marquette. Famous like Martin Niemoller or Billy Graham, or someone close to you who is unknown by most people. Who is this person and why do they cause you to want to be more holy and and Christ like? Not to put them on a pedestal as a "Super Christian", but someone who bears the Christ like image so much that you strive for that Christ like image yourself. I'm curious, and would like to know what you see in others. And yes I know the Scripture reference is slightly out of context.
