I would very earnestly ask you to check your conception of Christ, the image of Him which as a Christian you hold in your mind, with the actual revealed Person who can be seen and studied in action in the pages of the Gospels. It may be of some value to hold in our minds a bundle of assorted ideals to influence and control our conduct. But surely we need to be very careful before we give that “bundle” the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

I would submit that we test the image of Christ, as St.Paul tells us to do, and if the image in our mind testifies that Jesus Christ is Lord then the image is of the Holy Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit will be evident in our hearts and minds. Blessings and peace be with you this day from central MN. Fr. Rophill
