What are we to imitate?

Original link for the story

How could a mere homo sapiens imitate Jesus Christ on his walking on water? Remember, He is also spirit - of a level very much different from man's category, therefore capable of doing things man cannot do.

This is also not the point Christ wanted to make. We are not to imitate His miracles. If we are to imitate Him, it should be in loving our brother as He had exemplified. Love, He said, is the greatest commandment that man must follow.

The story exemplifies the great accountability of anyone preaching for Christ. If one lacks understanding, then he may not have been appointed for the job.
