Jesus is your Example
To this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps. (1 Peter 2:21)He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1 John 2:6) If I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. (John 13:14,15) Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:5-8) Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Mark 10:43-45) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:34) By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:16) Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God. (Romans 15"5-7) Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (Hebrews 12:2,3)
