Follow My Example?


As Tom and I are reading the New Testament, I’m more and more impressed with the early Apostles. They seemed to be like little children while Christ was on the earth. They never seemed to quite grasp what He was talking about, or what His plan was, or how He did things. 

But after Christ was crucified, suddenly the apostles are great men, preaching and ministering to the people, trying to keep the gospel alive, trying to bring people to Christ. And as I read Paul’s epistles, I am more and more impressed with him.

In Philippians 3:17, Paul counsels the saints to “Be followers together of me…. Ye have us for example.” I would really like to be so righteous that I could say to anyone, follow what I do; do what I do. Let me be your example of how to behave, how to serve, how to be a follower of Christ!
