In most “man-conversations” the question is usually asked, “What do you do for a living?”  In our current culture, our vocation often becomes our identity.  The more important question, though it would be difficult to ask, would be, “Who are you becoming?”  The question of one’s character is an important one and often goes un-noticed until the lack of it is observed.  Character issues are deep and cannot be dealt with at the gym or with more make-up.  The most foundational way to get at character improvement is to receive Christ.  “If any man is in Christ, he has become a new creation.”  But, as we know, a believer still has some work to do. Thankfully, we are not on our own in this journey.  It is always disappointing when someone who has claimed to be a Christ-follower does not demonstrate the character of Christ.   Before we cast the first stone we should take a look at our own life.  How are we doing with the development of our inner life?  It’s not complicated to develop the character of Christ, but, that does not mean it is easy.  As we study the conclusion of the Jerusalem Council, we’ll see that the reason it went so well was because of the character of those involved.  Could we be like them?  Does it matter?
