DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY*FOLLOW HIS STEPS*

🗣️FOLLOW HIS STEPS💫

📜📜TEXT:1 PETER 2:21-25📜📜

📖MEMORY VERSE:"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth" (1 PETER 2:21, 22).

In 1896, Charles M. Sheldon in one of his books - In His Steps, recounted the story of a local church whose members pledged, for an entire year, not to do anything without first asking the question, "What would Jesus do if He were in my place?" Following Christ's steps brought joy to them.

Paul tells us that Christians are to follow our Lord's example of kindness, holiness, patience in suffering, and courage in enduring persecution. Following Christ's steps also entails humble service in God's will.

Jesus is our standard; not any human. His life on earth, as recorded in the four Gospels, is a perfect example for us to follow. He never sinned, never retaliated when insulted or ever deceived anyone. Rather, He loved His haters and prayed for His persecutors.

We should believe that whatever God permits in our lives is for our eventual good. Follow His steps in love, faithfulness, devotion, diligence, suffering and doing the works of God. Fret not, He will bless you in due time.

💭QUOTE:Jesus is our standard.

🔮CHALLENGE:Christ meekly endured sorrow, can you?

🙏🏽🙏🏽PRAYER:Oh God, give me the grace to follow my Saviour's steps always.
HYMN: Nearer my God to Thee
