Focus: Who is your Model?

WORD FOR TODAY
What you look at determines what you will look like; what you see is what you become. Your life can only be correct with respect to God's standard if you make Jesus Christ your model!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"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." (Hebrew 12:2 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best of what you can become depends on what you can see. All men consciously or unconsciously have a model. If you must live to please God and fulfill your God's given mandate you must make Jesus Christ your model. Several men whom we look up to have turned out to be disappointments because they also failed to be like HIM.

We saw in the scripture the life of the man of Calvary; Jesus Christ:

1. He lived absolutely to do the will of God the Father; He had no personal ambition of His own (John 4:34).
2. God the Father was pleased with Him (Matt 3:17)
3. He lived as a complete stranger on earth; no attachment to the things of this world (Luke 9:58).
4. He lived to fulfill his assignments within the allocated time given to Him (John 9:4)
5. He is compassionate and blessed several lives (Matt 9:36)
6. He lived a life of love, prayed for His enemies and forgave those who harmed him (Luke.23.34)
7. He lived a life without fault. No sin was found in Him (John 14:30, Luke 23:4).
8. He was humble and simple; sinners, men, women, children had access to Him. He was so simple that the Chief Priest needed a Judas to identify him among His disciples(Matt 9:11; 16–19, 19:14).

This is the summary of what God wants us to be.
