John 14: 9 “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”   Cell phones have made selfie photographs an everyday occurrence.  I recently saw a T-shirt with the wording on the front, “Jesus is God’s selfie.”  Many times in Scripture, Jesus proclaimed that He and the Father were one.  In John 10:30, Jesus said to the Jews: “I and the Father are One.”  Jesus affirmed that He is fully God and that the Father and Son mutually share the same divine nature.  In all of Scripture, Jesus called God “his Father” or “my Father” with only one exception when God forsook him on the cross.  He always prayed to the Father and made it a personal relationship.  We should follow Jesus’ example in our prayers because of our personal relationship to the Father through Christ.

Since Jesus is truly a selfie of God the Father, we should consider what a selfie of our lives should reflect.  It should reflect Jesus.  Just as there was the life of a real person inside the T-shirt I mentioned above, our selfie should have Jesus living inside of us.  As you lead others, do they see this lived out?  We cannot achieve the same divine nature, but we can become more like him in the way we live and lead to reflect his character and our relationship to God the Father through him.  The bottom line question for us is this, “When others see us, do they see Jesus?”  Are you a selfie of Jesus?
