We can understand why this new convert was perplexed. There is a great disparity between the life of Christ and the lives of many who bear His name. In fact, some believers are even imitating the world instead of trying to live like Jesus. Today, we who have placed our trust in the Savior still bear that name and march under the same banner as those early believers. When we call ourselves Christians, we are saying to the world that Christ is our Savior and that we are following Him.
Christians have a glorious name.
More self-denial, like His in Galilee, More like the Master I long to ever be. When you walk with Christ, you'll be out of step with the world.
