I can't remember where I read this statement so as to give proper credit, but it's too good not to share anyway.

The christian life is not the imitation of the life of Christ - it's the participation in the life of Christ.

*updated on 4-19-2010 - Husband helped me to remember. I actually heard this statement on a CD of talks that we listen to. It was said by Alan. Once I find out his last name I'll let you know.
