Are We Living As Jesus Did?

1 John 2:6
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

No matter where we are in life, no matter what season we are in, no matter what circumstances surround us, we must choose to live our lives as Jesus did.  We must have the attitude of Christ in all things.

Jesus was willing to leave His seat of glory in heaven in order to come to earth and fulfill the plan of the Father for His life.  He humbled Himself by giving up His heavenly stature and taking on the form of a man.  He willingly accepted all the scorn, all the mockery and all the suffering, even unto death.  He always put the interest of others first.  He told us Himself that, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45

We must ask ourselves with what attitude do we approach all things in life.  These things demand serious self-examination; and earnest prayer, so that God will show us what we are, and whether we are truly living as Jesus did.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for sending us Your Son as the perfect model for our lives.  We exalt the name of Jesus who was the only man who ever led a life that was without sin.  We lift our hands in praise and worship as we bow before Our Savior with a grateful heart.  We pray, Father, that You will show us how to live the Kingdom life on earth like Jesus did.  We ask that the Holy Spirit lead us to live our lives with the attitude of Christ.  May we be humble, gentle and obedient in all things as He was.  We ask all these things in the name of spotless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
