About acting human

Amias had made a comment on my last post here:
"it's so refreshing to see someone who is a Christian, act like a human being."

There are times when I wonder why it's so difficult for a Christian to act human.

We put on our clothes the same way as others. We get tired at the end of the day. We eat . We sleep.
Just like those who don't claim to be Christians.

And just like Jesus when he walked the Earth.

This month we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Jesus is God in the flesh. when He walked the Earth, He showed mercy on those who would accept mercy, gave answers to those who inquired of Him, and love when others demanded judgement.

Jesus had human emotions. He got hungry and thirsty. He got angry when He needed to. His anger was towards the religious leaders, not those who those leaders looked down on.

We sometimes think WWJD- What would Jesus do. The only way for us to find out what Jesus would do id read His word. Be a student. Ask for God's love, agape love, to flow through you and read His word through eyes of love,

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law-Romans 13:8

And notice in the above verse, it doesn't say love only Christians, but love one another. It's hard, but it's possible.

I think there are some Christians who appear to be very judgemental and that bothers me a lot. That is not the way Christians should act.

But I think more than that, I mostly see Christians who act so human that you can't even tell if they are a Christian or not. I believe Christians should be different from the world, but with much love for others.
