“Brethern, be followers together of me, and
mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example.” Phil 3:17
A
Sunday school teacher noticed a young boy sitting on a wall barking out orders
to his classmates. The teacher inquired
what he was doing. “I’m being a pastor,” he said. She said in what way? The little boy said, “I’m doing nothing, and
telling everyone else what to do.” We
never know where our shadow falls and who it affects. Martin Luther cast a long shadow over Germany
and Europe that had a great effect on the world. About 500 years later, Adolph
Hitler cast a shadow over Germany and Europe that was devastating and evil. Paul
encouraged the Philippians to observe and follow his walk in Christ; does your
walk cast a shadow worth standing in or to be followed by others? We all project a shadow that influences others…parent,
teacher, coach, co-worker, neighbor or friend.
It is said, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, when you see
yourself in others is it a good thing.
There
is a strong shadow, where there is much light from the Son!
