    Paul had a great longing to be like his Lord. We as modern-day Christians should have that same consuming desire to be like Jesus.

    LONGING FOR THE LIKENESS OF THE LORD Text: Ps.17: 15; Phil.3: 8, 9 Intro: Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “longing” as a “strong desire; yearning.” It almost goes without saying that everyone has strong desires of one sort or another.
