God Ought to Be Like Jesus

Story★★★

“Instantly, his eyes filled with tears and this man of about fifty-five or sixty
said, ‘I have been in church all of my life and I never heard that before. But I have
always thought that is the way it ought to be-that God ought to be like Jesus.’ “

The point

A lifelong churchgoer is moved to tears realizing for the first time that God's true character is fully revealed in the likeness of Jesus.
