We are grateful it was also for our good. It was and is good for Christ to have followed His Creator fully and completely. He didn’t miss out on anything. He lived a full, meaningful, and rewarding life that only He could have lived. He fully trusted His Father despite times of deep sorrow, confusion, shame, and pain.
“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the JOY set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
In every way, for every person, for every culture, and for every age, Christ is the ultimate model of a life well lived. His life not only became the model for us to follow, it became the life transferred into us by the power of the Holy Spirit at conversion.
“Do not think that I (Jesus) have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17)
For Reflection:
1) Who is your favorite current living role model?
2) Who is following your life as a role model?
3) Who is your mentor?
Thank you for reading
