The Guardian’s Example…

When people ask me where in the Bible does it say we are to behave like Jesus, to emulate Him? There are many places, but here is one of them. There’s not much room for confusion in its application.

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.25 Once you were like sheep who wandered away.But now you have turned to your Shepherd,the Guardian of your souls. 1 Peter 2:21-25
