This message shows that discipleship is not only believing in Jesus. It is becoming like Him. We all become what we stay close to. What we look at shapes us. What we feed grows. Scripture says that by beholding the Lord, we are transformed into His image. The more time we spend with Jesus in His word, in prayer, and in quiet surrender, the more His character begins to show in our words, our reactions, and our choices. Transformation is not accidental. It is intentional trust. Jesus changes our desires, our impulses, our pace, and our identity. We resist cultural drift and hurry by choosing presence with Him. Becoming like Jesus is not about trying harder. It is about staying close enough for His life to rub off on ours.
