“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” – 1 Peter 2:21 (KJV)

Dear beloved, you have been called to live like Christ. Whatever Jesus Christ stood for; you are to stand for the same. Knowing that you have been called to live like Christ Jesus prompts you to examine your actions. Jesus Christ loved people and did not discriminate against them; He was just, merciful, humble, and focused on the Father’s work (John 5:17).

He suffered, was persecuted, and finally died on the cross for us. Thus, Jesus Christ has laid down an example for us to follow. We ought to also love people so we can preach the gospel to them, show them compassion, minister to their needs, and be focused on what God has called us to do. We should also bear in mind that just as Christ Jesus was persecuted and even suffered unto death on the cross, we will also suffer for His name’s sake (Matthew 5:11). It is a test that we will all go through to prove our love for Him. Therefore, be steadfast to pass the test so that you can be glorified. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

Prayer Point: My dear heavenly Father, thank You for the good example You have laid down through our Lord Jesus Christ. I am really motivated. Please lead and guide me to also be a good example in word, action, and reaction, for others to learn from and become like Christ Jesus. Amen!
