It has been my understanding that by identifying with, say, a religion like Christianity, an individual is voluntarily professing that they live by the values of Jesus, the Christ.
They live their lives "in Jesus' name."
They are His representatives on Earth.
77% of America's population are behaving like Jesus.
Yes, over 91% of Representatives and Senators in Washington DC are all behaving just like Jesus, doing what Jesus would do.
The President too!
Somehow I would have thought the result of all these Jesuses would have been way more like ahh, Jesus.
As I recall, He liked to share food and drink with people and was most displeased with those who used money to manipulate people for profit.
If He is risen and lives in you, please behave like it, for Christ's sake.
