Jesus: The Example


He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
<<{Hebews 5:8}>>

The Greek word for example comes from ancient school life. It refers to something written down by a teacher so it can be followed and copied exactly by the student learning to write. 

Christ is our copybook. We look to Him as our teacher. His suffering gave us an example to follow, so we can learn how suffering is to be borne. 

How did Jesus bear it? By not giving in to despair or doubt. By looking beyond His suffering and seeing the glory that was to come. By remembering the Father was with Him and would use His suffering for good. We would do well to do the same. 

Are you following Christ example in your suffering? Have a blessed weekend!
