IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST

The Steps before me looked gigantic,unattainable…it left me wondering who this Man really was?He spoke to a man that was dead,dead and stinking and he came back to life,with authority he rebuked the wind and the sea and they obeyed him.Imagine the madman of Gadara,he was so fiercesome that everyone kept their distance but not this one’Jesus Christ’;He commanded a legion of the demons out of him and made an Evangelist out of him.He reached out to the tax collector,he loved sinners to the point of dying a shameful death.As I pondered on Him and His works,I wondered…is it possible to be like him?do the works he did?but then I hear him say..’My daughter the works that I do shall u do,yes even greater works JN14:12 you will do’ because I am sending the comforter,He will empower you,He will help you,HE WILL GUIDE YOU IN MY FOOTSTEPS.
