The Gospels - ManSample

Things can be easier to understand when we can follow an example. Imagine building something that you have NEVER seen before and had you no instructions. That would be impossible. But, if you had an example to follow, step by step, what seems impossible becomes much easier.

Throughout The Gospels, Jesus gives us an example to follow. The Bible isn’t just a set of rules and guidelines that we must keep, it gives us stories of people who have gone before, who we can learn from and the best example we can follow is Jesus. The Bible says to follow in God’s example by walking in love, just as Christ did.

As Christians we want to grow and become more like Jesus. More like Jesus in how we treat others, how we speak, how we act and how we behave. We might not get it right all the time, we all mess up, but we are a work in progress! We don’t need to strive out of our own strength to try and live like Jesus. The Holy Spirit empowers us and transforms us so we can grow and follow Jesus’ example.
