MORNING MEDITATIONS
Grace Calls Us into Newness
Luke 5:27–39
Levi opened his table so that others could meet Jesus. When religious critics objected, Christ identified Himself as the physician who comes for the spiritually sick. His mercy welcomes sinners without leaving us captive to what harms us; grace brings us into the healing freedom of repentance.

The greatest honour and exaltation any man can have is to be identified with King Messiah.
To be worthy of the name “Christian” we must think, talk, walk, and act like Christ.
When people meet you, can they see that you are a Christian without you directly telling them?
“To be like Jesus” is not just a song; it is our perpetual pursuit, our constant custom, and our God-inspired goal.
Through His sovereign majesty and His divine foreknowledge, God has predestinated you and me to become conformed to the likeness of His dear Son.
What Jesus wants for you is that you may be transformed more and more into His perfect personality, and yet you will always be you.
The more you are filled with the pure Spirit of Christ, the more true Christians are drawn to you.
If we are truly “Christ-like,” we will also be as the angels. — Mark 12:25
The more we adopt the ways of Jesus, the more we will look upon others the way He did.
The more you are like Jesus, the more you will love sinners and hate sin.
Let Christ work on you, mold you, and fashion you into His glorious image.
Let yourself be molded into the similitude of His lofty character.
Jesus is all I need to be the person I need to be.
The reality of Christ within us overrides all outside fears and overrules all worldly worries.
Whatever you do tells me who and what you are.
If Jesus is always number one on your list of things to do, you’re going to have a blissful day.
Imitate Jesus: think, feel, talk, act, and minister like Jesus.
The more we walk and talk with Jesus, the more we will be like Him.
Oh, may the personality of Christ become so prevailing in me that I truly become Christ-like.
Multitudes followed Christ, but He did not please all men. If we become like Him, it will be the same with us.
I want to be more like Jesus. How about you?
