Jesus, Our Example

Oct21

“For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” ”
Romans 15:3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.15.3.NASB1995

2 Corinthians 8:9 NASB1995

Christ, our Savior, went to the cross for our sake. He took on our reproach. We were the ones deserving of condemnation, but God sent His only Son; Jesus, our example. Are we willing to treat others the way Jesus did us, with grace, mercy, and love?

“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.””
Matthew 20:28 NASB1995

Humbly Serving Others

Oct15

“Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.””
John 13:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.13.8.NASB1995

Jesus. Son of God. Stooping to wash Peter’s feet?
What?!

Have you ever had someone wash your feet? I went to a women’s fellowship one night and we each had to wash another’s feet. I didn’t mind washing the feet of another but for another to wash my feet?!! That was very humbling.

If Jesus is our example of how to walk in Him, then shouldn’t we follow His example? Humbly serving others, no matter the cost?

“For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.”
John 13:15 NASB1995

Jeremiah 1:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.1.5-6.NASB1995

Imitating Example

Oct12

“You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.”
1 Thessalonians 1:6-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.1.6-7.NASB1995

❓️Are we being an imitating example of Jesus❓️

-Imitating other believers who Imitate Jesus?
-Knowing the truth of the Bible so we can distinguish those who are true imitators from those who are acting the part?

If yes, then let us be an example for others to follow.

🌹“Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”

Keep Planting

Oct8

“Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. ”
John 4:34 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.34.NASB1995

“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.””
John 4:35-38 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.35-38.NASB1995

It takes a team to plant (sow) seeds together for a bountiful harvest. Don’t be discouraged when your planting doesn’t turn into an immediate harvest. Keep planting. One day, by God’s bountiful love, you will see a harvest.

Planting seeds of salvation is hard when all we do is plant and we don’t see the sprout. But God. Know that He is still at work in the growing of those seeds. One day we will rejoice when we gather across the river and see many in whom we planted and others harvested.

🌹Keep planting. God is still at work.
