Get the appDo Something—High SchoolSample
Have you ever had someone ask you to do something really difficult—that they weren’t willing to do themselves? Maybe your coach told you to do 50 burpees, while he was eating a Big Mac on the sideline. Or a teacher told you to put away your phone, when they spent the entire class checking their own. One of the things that makes Jesus such an incredible leader was His constant leading by example. He told his followers to be selfless, and then demonstrated by washing His disciples’ feet. He told His followers to make room for the people others discounted, and then ate meals with those people and shared conversation and blessed them. Jesus wasn’t in the business of asking anyone to do something He wouldn’t first do Himself. And that’s good news. Because Jesus told us to love one another, to look out for each other, and then Jesus went to the cross to show us exactly what that kind of love looks like. We can be confident we follow a God who isn’t just telling us what to do, but showing us. Today, consider the ways Jesus has led by example in his love for us, and think of a way you can demonstrate love for others based on what Jesus has done for us.
