Where is the image of Christ in your behavior?

Desiderius Erasmus

If you walk in the spirit, where are the fruits of the spirit? where is love? where is joy? where is peace toward all? where patience, long suffering, goodness, kindness, compassion, faith, modesty, continence, and chastity? Where is the image of Christ in your behavior? You say, “I am not an adulterer, a thief, a blasphemer. I keep my vows.” What is that other than to say, “I am not as other men, extortioners, adulterers. I fast twice in the week.” The humble publican in Christ’s parable, I tell you, and again I tell you, is better than those who recount their good deeds. Paul says “there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.” May you then in kindness correct the erring, teach the ignorant, raise the fallen, console the despondent, aid the toiling, relieve the needy. In a word, let all your possessions, all your concern, all your care be directed toward the imitation of Christ, who was not born for himself, lived not to himself, died not to himself, but for our sakes.

Life is uncertain, death levels all

Knight, Death, and the Devil (Albrecht Dürer, 1513)

As for fame, it is fleeting. Where now is Alexander? Where is Xerxes? Where is Hannibal? What remains is a legend which itself would not be remembered save for the writings of literary men. What value have the pyramids to those who see them no longer? Riches only beget desire for more. Beauty wilts like the roses, friends flit like swallows. Life is uncertain, death levels all. How many are those who live, I will not say as long as Nestor or Methuselah, but to be a hundred? How many until sixty? Not one in a thousand! The body will die but nothing is so dreadful as the death of the soul. Therefore study to make yourself capable of eternal felicity. This you can do best by secreting yourself from the seductions of the world.
