As He is, so are we. The apostle Paul, in chapter one of Ephesians made note of the fact that Christians, collectively, are called to represent the fullness of Christ on the earth. Verse twenty-two says, “And God placed all things under his feet, and appointed him to be head over everything, for THE CHURCH, WHICH IS HIS BODY, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Filling everything in every way infers a uniqueness. We each within ourselves hold, and can represent different aspects of Christ. However, for us to represent him accurately, we must each flow within the context of how he has made us, unique, and special in every way.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made, each designed for unique purposes, purposes which contribute to the growth and development of all. Ephesians 4:16 says, “From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each does its work. So, lets each do our work today, because, AS HE IS, SO ARE WE!

IJohn 4:17 says, “By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.” It’s so good to know that our lives are hidden in Christ, we can do all things through Him who loves us, and He will never leave or fail us. We are the temples of His Holy Spirit! As He is so are we!
