Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.
I urge you to become like me: Strange words from Paul. In what way should the Galatian Christians become like Paul?
[Paul] kept before them the cross of Calvary. "We preach not ourselves," he declared in the later years of his experience, "but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:5, 6. AA 208
Those who heard him knew that he had been with Jesus. Be like Paul -- spend much time with Jesus.
