Read Ephesians 4:17-24
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, the truth is in Jesus: Ephesians 4:21 (KJV)
Our world is in desperate need of positive role models today and it seems that almost no one wants the job. Too many professional athletes, movie stars, and entertainers live selfish sinful lifestyles which provide fodder material for the numerous tabloids. Our teenagers especially are negatively influenced by these “famous” people. While there certainly are some excellent high-profile Christian leaders (Tim Tebow for example), these are often overshadowed by the sheer magnitude of negative choices made by others.
In stark contrast to this, Jesus’ earthly life provided a perfect example for us, showing how to both live and love. His last three years of life and ministry were lived giving Himself away for others, and His death on the cross was the ultimate selfless act in history. As we study His life as recorded in the Gospels, we can learn from the way He lived, the way He taught people, and the way He died. Through the life of Jesus, we clearly see God’s truth.
God, thank you for the perfect example of Your Son Jesus! May we walk in His footsteps today.
