The Example of Christ

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11 [1] Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

Observation: How many times should people follow me. Not very often, the way I act. I’m supposed to be a light, an example of what a Christian should be, but most of the time I’m not. I know how I’m supposed to be, I have the best teacher, but so often I fall back on my sinful nature.

Application: Think before I act and follow what Jesus would do, not what I want to do. Be an example to others leading them to my Lord. Be calm and think before I do and when things go well point others to Jesus.

Prayer: Dear Lord I need your help to be this man you desire me to be. Take charge, fill me with the Holy Spirit and guide me each day. Humble me before others so they will only see You.
