Choosing Christ as Our Pattern
"I know just what pattern I want," said a young lady to her mother as they started out on a shopping excursion. The remark suggested a thought. Whether the daughter's remark was right or wrong, the words express what should be true in a spiritual sense of every soul. All are moulding character after some pattern, but, sad to say, many do not know the pattern they want. It is first this, then that, and so they go through life, and will come up to the great judgment day characterless. Their pattern changes with every passing hour. The world presents many patterns, but God presents only one, namely, Jesus Christ. God wants us all to choose that pattern, and has made it possible for us to copy it. It is perfect in its fullness. Why not choose it, then? Why not know that we want it?
