1 Peter 2:21 “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should walk in His steps.”
Lord, in Your steps…that is a tall order. I am so thankful You do not ask or expect us to do that in our own power! There is no way I could fulfill this command on my own. You didn’t have to send the Holy Spirit to be our guide, teacher, helper, and comforter, but You did and I could not be more grateful.
Your way is so revolutionary compared to human nature. Being willing to suffer unjust punishment with a sweet submissive attitude and lack of bitterness is not something we would look forward to or see as commendable to God, but it is with You. I know it is because our testimony becomes much stronger and visible when we act as You would under such circumstances. The sole reason You leave us here after our conversion is to win souls for Your Kingdom. If we look, act, and speak as the world does, they will see no difference in us.
