The latter part of our opening verse, referring to
Jesus, says, as He is, so are we in this world. If we’re
as He is, then it’s important to find out from the Word who
Jesus is; how did He live when He walked the earth? The Bible
tells us that He healed the sick, raised the dead, and cast out
devils. Acts 10:38 says, “How God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went
about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him.” His life was an unending stream
of the miraculous.

He walked on water. He talked to deaf ears, and they
were unstopped. He spoke to blind eyes and they opened.
He talked to lame legs, and they were restored. He was such
a marvel. At His word, even maimed limbs grew back. When
He hushed the raging tempest, His disciples exclaimed in
awe, “What manner of man is this! For he commandeth even
the winds and water, and they obey him ” (Luke 8:25).
Now, to think that He did all these as a man, having
laid His glory aside (Philippians 2:7), beats the imagination.
The glorious manifestations of the supernatural in His life
happened before He went to the cross. It was after His
resurrection that He became the glorified Christ (1 Peter
1:21). This shows who we are, and what we can do today as
new creations in Christ Jesus. The image of the glorified Christ
we see in the Word is actually our reflection as new creations
in Christ.
So, when you read, “as he is, so are we in this world,”
We’re Like Him
you ought to say, “Blessed be God, as Jesus is, with all
His glory, authority, and power, so am I today!” Hallelujah.
Meditate on this truth. Consciously think, talk, walk, and act
like Jesus. Like Him, boldly proclaim the Word to
circumstances and situations and there’ll be a change. Heal
the sick; cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead! Bless and
touch others with the love of God as Jesus did, for you’re like
Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for
giving me all authority in heaven
and on earth to walk in dominion
and reign gloriously over
circumstances. Thank you for
making me the effulgence of your
glory. I walk in your wisdom, and
triumphantly fulfil your perfect
will, manifesting your virtues and
perfections, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
