To Be Christ-like

February 11, 2024 | David McQueen

To be truly Christ-like is to excel in generosity (2 Corinthians 8:7). Jesus is (and has been) generous beyond what we can imagine. Out of His incredible love for us, He set aside His heavenly place to enter our sinfulness and messiness so that we could know Him and have eternal life (John 3:16; Philippians 2:5-8). Though He was rich, for our sake He became poor, so that by His sacrifice we could become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). As His followers, we desire to be like Him in heart, character, and action. This is why we are encouraged in Scripture to excel in the grace of giving, to have the same mindset as Jesus, especially in generosity. Because of the generosity of those who gave to Beltway Park in 2023, we as a church were able to serve and bless countless lives within our church family, within our local community and region, and to the ends of earth.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was  yet for your sake he became  so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9

Jesus is  beyond what we can imagine. (Jn. 3:16)

Just as you  in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also  in this grace of giving. 2 Corinthians 8:7

To be truly Christ-like is to  in  

 and offerings seem really radical, even irrational, compared to the norms of our world.

But we’re not seeking to be like our world. We’re seeking to be more like  

And when I look at what Jesus gave – His   – they don’t seem irrational at all.
