Example
Making Tracks, But Are They the Right Ones
Have you ever wished you had a mentor, someone to follow, to teach you how to do your job better, be a better spouse, or how to walk in a way that pleases our Heavenly Father? Many lack a good “example” as seen by the normalization of arguing, lying, materialism, and trusting in “self” rather than God. Yet our Heavenly Father gives us a good example – His Son. Jesus shows us how to stand against temptation, how to live for God’s will, how to treat others, and even how to suffer when following God’s Word rather than the world. Jesus is the ultimate example of how to entrust ourselves to our Heavenly Father’s care. First Peter 2:21 reminds us of the importance of following Jesus’ example. “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,” In a world filled with bad examples, our Father provides a mentor in Jesus and tells us to follow His example. Will we this year?
Heavenly Father, thank You for providing Jesus as not only our Savior but also as an example to us. Jesus, help us follow Your example increasingly every day. We love You!

“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,”
Have you ever wished you had a mentor; someone to follow; someone to teach you how to do your job better, be a better spouse, or even live for Christ? Many people lack a good “example” to follow. Young girls get pregnant, but may not know how to be a good mother. Husbands may not know how to treat their wives because they grew up in a home with an absentee father. Arguing, lying, and trusting in “self” rather than God is often the norm. Yet, in the midst of a lack of good examples, our Heavenly Father provides a good example in His Son. Jesus shows us how to stand against temptation, how to live for God’s will, how to treat others, and even how to suffer for righteousness’s sake. Jesus is an eXample of how we’re to entrust ourselves to our Heavenly Father. (1 Peter 2:22-23) In a world filled with bad examples, how wonderful that we can follow Jesus.
We praise You, Lord Jesus, our EXAMPLE!
