I bought a small treadmill recently. According to the advertisements, it is designed for “seniors.” It has full bars from front to back on both sides. It is small, only weighing 80 lbs. Bob and I were able to wrestle the 80-lb box into the bonus room, and even open the box and remove the parts. However, one look at the instructions made putting it together beyond our capabilities.
Our oldest grandson came over one evening and put it together. As he was reading the instructions and assembling all the pieces, I remembered when we took him to see the T-Rex named Sue in Idaho Falls in 2003 when he was eight years old.
We visited the gift shop on the way out and bought him a wooden T-Rex 3-D puzzle. It
was for 10–12-year-olds, but the puzzles for 8-10 didn’t interest him. A few months later I asked him if he ever got that puzzle together. He said, “Yes, but I lost the instructions.” When I asked how he was able to do that he said, “I thought like a dinosaur.”
Apparently, thinking like a dinosaur enables one to complete a dinosaur (puzzle). Do you think that “thinking like Jesus” will enable us to become complete in Him?
“Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” [Hebrews 12:1a-2B]
