Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
We are not to imitate Him, but to allow Him to live His life through us.
Christ emptied Himself and took on a human form
He remained God.
1 Co 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
