"Leaving You An Example, That You Should Follow In HIS Steps."

What would Jesus do?

(James Smith, "Gleams of Grace" 1860)

"Leaving you an example, that
you should follow in HIS steps."
1 Peter 2:21

To know more of CHRIST,

and be more like CHRIST--

are two of the principal things

we have to attend to. In order to this,

we must . . .

  study GOD'S Word,

  be much at GOD'S throne of grace,

  depend on the empowerment of the SPIRIT,

  and walk in fellowship with GOD'S people.

We must consider how JESUS

lived when here, and often ask,

"What would Jesus do 

in my circumstances?"

JESUS should be our example, 

the model which we strive 

to copy every day.

In vain do we profess CHRIST, 

if we are not in some measure 

like CHRIST!

"Whoever says he abides in HIM, 
ought to walk and conduct himself 
in the same way in which HE walked 
and conducted HIMSELF." 
1 John 2:6 (Amplified Bible)
