One of my favorite television commercials lately is the one that shows a man who is obsessed with the actor Kevin Bacon. This ultimate fan—cleverly portrayed by Kevin Bacon himself—is consumed with thoughts of his hero. He has all of his movies. His favorite Kevin Bacon movie? It’s a tie…between all of them! The fan shares with the camera his wife’s comment that if he keeps on watching so much of Kevin Bacon’s movies, he will turn into Kevin Bacon. Then he crosses his fingers, as if to say that would be his dream come true.

We Christians are more than fans of Jesus. He is our example and we try to live as he would live. We study his life and his teachings so that we will know what to do and say in every situation. As we follow him, we start to look more like Jesus.

“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”—2 Cor.3:18.
