"It is no good giving me a play like Hamlet or King Lear, and telling me to write like that. Shakespeare could do it; I can't.
And it is no good showing me a life like the life of Jesus and telling me to live a life like that. Jesus could do it; I can't.
But if the genius of Shakespeare could come and live in me, then I could write plays like his.
And if the Spirit of Jesus could come and live in me, then I could live a life like his." William Temple (quoted by John Stott)

In case you missed the point...the Spirit DOES and we CAN!

"We are not to be like reeds shaken by the wind, bowing down before gusts of public opinion...We are not to be like fish floating with the stream (for only dead fish swim with the current), but to swim against the stream, even against the cultural mainstream. We are not to be like chameleons, lizards that change their color according to their surroundings, but to stand out visibly against our surroundings." John Stott in The Radical Disciple
