Because

Jesus' character is something we will never achieve. So why try?

Because each trait is one to be admired! And to reach one, just one, is an accomplishment to be proud of till the end of our days. One to brag about within our innermost self. One to teach our children. One to share with others in the display of grace.

Just one would be amazing to claim.

The flip side of this is knowing that we could never be anywhere near the person that Jesus was/is. He is God. He is Holy Spirit. He is Trinity. He is perfection.

So, again, why try?

There is not enough time left in our existence to teach the many reasons why. Plus, they've already been taught in a very special book. It's actually pretty simple to figure out the answer to the question, "Why try?"

simply, because.
