Just Like Jesus

Jesus is our example. Here are a few things the Bible says we are to do just as Jesus did. Search your Bible for others.

Love. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (Jn. 13:34 ).

Serve. Earlier in the same chapter, after washing the disciples’ feet to teach the lessons of humility and service, Jesus said, “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you” (Jn. 13:14-16 ).

Suffer. “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously” (1 Pet. 2:21-23 ).

Forgive. “Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you” (Col. 3:13 ).

Live anew. “Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4 ).
