Josiah’s Reformation – II Kings 22:1 – 22:20

Do You Want to Be More Like Jesus?

Mike was a leader among students. He had everything: a contagious personality, athletic ability, good looks, and natural appeal. Everybody wanted to be around Mike. But a few years after college, Mike suffered a brain hemorrhage, and, as a result, he lost everything: his handsome appearance was gone, his voice was slurred, he couldn’t teach any more. Everything that others admired in Mike was now taken from him. His treatment required months of grueling therapy, but eventually he was able to function again. The devastating effect on his body was paralleled by an equally powerful change in his spirit. He still attracted followers, but he was no longer focused on himself. He was focused on God. “In college,” when people were around Mike they wanted to be like Mike. Now, after spending time with Mike, they want to be more like Jesus.” (Source Uknown - Lou Nicholes)
