- Christ is the model to copy. It is beyond words what He
suffered that we would have a standard in which to live
by. He led by example as to how to overcome the
deceitfulness of sin. He is the case in point as to how to
respond to attacks of hatred. He is the master pattern
as to how to trust God to settle the injustices.
- As an individual, He carried the weight of all of our sins.
Under tremendous pressure, He showed us how to live
by His Spirit. Before the cross, we did not have a
chance, but now we have a sure hope and a Shepherd
that loves our soul more than anything in the world.
- Following in His steps of being a great person, also
results in receiving all the blessings that follow Him.
May the Word of God be the inspiration that fuels your soul.

- 1 Peter 2 verses 21-25
- 21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps:
22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that
judgeth righteously:
24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by
whose stripes ye were healed.
25. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned
unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
- Isaiah 61 verse 10
- I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath
covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself
with her jewels.
