A few days ago I received a Daily Gem in my email box that got me thinking about what I can do to become more Christ-like.

Emulating Jesus to Become Men

When we consider the admonition to be men, we must think of Jesus Christ. When Pilate brought Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns, he declared, ‘Behold the man!’ (John 19:4-5). Pilate may not have fully understood the significance of his own words, but the Lord indeed stood before the people then as He stands today–the highest ideal of manhood. Behold the man!

The Lord asked His disciples what manner of men they should be and then answered, ‘Verily I say unto you, even as I am’ (3 Nephi 27:27;  3 Nephi 18:24). That is our ultimate quest.

(D. Todd Christofferson, “Let Us Be Men,” Ensign, Nov. 2006, 48)

So what can I do to be more Christ-like?    Ask “WWJD (What would Jesus Do)?”  I find myself asking this at times.  We’ve all heard this before, but it works!  If we remember Jesus Christ at all times, our eldest brother and perfect example of man, we can strive to become better people.
