Follow my example,
as I follow the example of Christ.
— St. Paul, 1st Corinthians 11:1
St. Paul wasn’t writing about style.
He was all about substance.
He wasn’t telling people how to comb their hair or what color of clothes to wear.
He was writing about The Most Substantial One and advising us to join him as together we follow the example of Christ.
Only then does it make sense to invite someone to follow my example.
Serious stuff.
May we be able to say to our friends and family, Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Could make for a much more interesting week than last week.
