Being Christ-Like

What does it mean to be Christ-like?

To be born of a virgin, get lost in the temple, answer questions with questions, cast out demons, and be perfect.

Well, yes.  But also no.

Being Christ-like also mean being rejected by even your family, choosing close friends from unlikely places, doing the dirty jobs, and being obedient to death.

To say you want to be Christ-like doesn't mean you want to be perfect.  It means you're willing to suffer.

Ouch.
