Let us put on the robe of Christ and we need look no further than the cross to emulate him.
It is courage, enduring to the end.
It is poverty, detached of earthly wealth while radiating heavenly treasures.
It is mercy, forgiving even ones enemies.
It is mourning for those that do not know God, showing them his love.
It is meekness, using ones strength to turn the other cheek.
It is living a life of peace, even when confronted with hate.
It is a life of humble service, thirsting for righteousness and doing the will of God.
It is a complete love of God and neighbor.
So let us “be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us”. ~ Ephesians 5:1-2
