What if all Christians behaved like Jesus

I will begin my write up today with the population percentage of Christians in a few selected countries according to different research findings. We have 88% in Uganda, 73% in USA, 95.6% in DRC, 92% in Mexico, 92.4% in the Philippines, 70.3% in Russia, 92.7 in Argentine and 95.7% in Poland. A Christian ought to mean Christ likeness.
Most of the people call themselves Christians because they attend a particular church. Others say they are Christians because they work with a Christian organization or because they adhere to a particular church tradition or culture.
There are higher chances that some of the evil we see in our communities are done by “Christians”. Uganda for example with an 88% population of Christians is known for corruption and embezzlement. I mean why is there so much evil and sin in communities with Christians? God as Christians we have fallen short of your Glory. May you cleanse the world and restore it to order.
Should a Christian be without concern for others and remain selfish? Have you pondered on how the world would be if all the Christians were like Jesus Christ? If all Christians get to be like Christ, it would simply mean walking in broad day light. None of us would be found with any spot on the day of his return.
We should thus see God as much bigger than our tiny views. As Christians we are supposed to be followers of God and Christ invokes us to be "fishers of men (Mathew 4:19). Luke 10:2 says, “He told them; the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field”. We have to allow to be used of God to bring harvest as his workmanship.
It’s my prayer that all of us Christians would mirror the Christ in us and that we shall be a salt and light to the world. That we will show God’s love to each other in all that we do and above all work in unity. That we will speak of God’s truth instead of speaking against any other Christian denomination. That we will focus on God’s word not prosperity messages. That we will trust in God and lean not on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). That we will aim at pleasing him alone in all that we do. In Jesus’ Name I pray.
