#Look-alike

In the animal world, there are some babies who look exactly like their parents. Take the picture below for instance. The baby looks like a dog, walks like a dog, and barks like a dog, so it must be a dog!

Then there are some babies that look nothing like their parents. A good example is a caterpillar. It looks nothing like the adult it is eventually going to be. It does not move the same, and it does not even eat the same!

Among us as humans there are some parents and children who could win look alike contests. The boy in the picture below is the image of his father! Sometimes the child doesn’t even have to be the same gender to look exactly like the parent – like the father and daughter in picture 4. That man certainly does not need a DNA test!

             

On top of all that I am told that married couples eventually begin to look like each other. The man and woman in the picture below almost look like sister and brother rather than husband and wife!

What am I trying to get at here? As Christians, we have accepted Christ as our heavenly father, and have been born anew into the family of God. So why don’t we look like Him? Why don’t we walk like Him? Why don’t we talk like Him? Should persons have to guess who our Father is?  Or should we be such a look-alike of our father that when people see us they can see Christ in us? How else would we be able to prove our unity with Him?
