Message
Example 1! Example 2! Example 3! Example 4! The students began to whisper to one another immediately they sighted Miss Thomson, the Mathematics teacher.’ She was nicknamed “Miss Example.” This was because for every topic, she would work many examples before giving a sum to the pupils to attempt. She was always pleased with any student that did according to the examples she has taught.
Every bit of Jesus’ word or action was to show example to His friends. So many examples; in humility, in holiness, in obedience, in submission, in love, in mercy, in faithfulness and in every area of His life. Having shown us so many examples, do we have any reason to go wrong? Wherever you find yourself today, before you speak or take any action, pause and ask yourself “What example does Jesus want me to show here?” If you do as the Spirit of God instructs, then you will be counted among those who follow the examples of our Lord. And so, you will be blessed.
