To Be Like Jesus
Scripture: Hebrews 5:[8] Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
Observation: All through God’s word we see all the things Jesus did and how He did them and we are amazed, yet we are called to be like Jesus. How can I be like Jesus? God doesn’t expect us to accomplish all things, but that is what we are to strive for in this world. The one thing we are all called to do is to obey God’s will. There are no excuses written in the Bible and each day we are called to ask for guidance as Jesus did.
Application: So instead of getting down when we suffer we need to be like Jesus, and obey God and instead of asking God why me, we need to say Dear Lord what do you desire. WWJD needs to be my life’s mission. If there is a time of any doubt what that might be all I need to do is read the word and pray for guidance.
Prayer: My Lord may I imitate you in this life. That no matter what happens I seek your face for guidance and be obedient to all you call me to do. That I will finish this race as you did with my head held high, knowing I live it for my Father.
