Ephesians 5:1-2
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly
loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ
loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and
sacrifice to God.
Have you ever uttered the words, “Do as I say,
not as I do” to your child? I know I
heard it growing up from time to time. I
am not saying that my parents did anything horrible by any means. All I am getting at here is that if we want
someone to do something a certain way, it will be best learned if we model it
for them in the way we want it done.
God knew this.
This was one of the reasons he sent Christ to earth. He came to be an example to us of how we
should live. He lived a perfect life and demonstrated how we are to be loving
and put others first.
What kind of example are you to those around
you? Are you leading others to Christ by
the example that you display in your daily life? My prayer today is that my life will be a
positive example for Christ to those that I come in contact with.
