Example

I am currently reading through 1 Peter. I invite you to open your Bible and read along with me or find it online here.



1 Peter 2

21 For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

22 He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.
23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.



Example. I love the fact that Jesus led by example. He isn’t asking us to do something that He hasn’t already done. He is simply asking us to follow Him.
