Focus: Many Heroes but One Model

WORD FOR TODAY
God in His infinite mercy has presented to us in this life several heroes who were exceptional in their own time from generation to generation but has given a model and that model is our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." (Hebrews 12:2a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The history of man in the universe under God is not complete without making reference to some men who made a mark in the sand of time. The book of Hebrews 11 gave the chronicles of the likes of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Samson, Gideon, David and others.

Despite the fact that these great men of faith were exceptional; God didn't present them to us as models even though we can learn some things in their lives. The birth of Ishmael and the death of Uriah was a significant shortcoming in the life of Abraham and David a man with a heart after God respectively. Hence, we cannot be like them. At a point in the lives of these men; they needed to lay aside every weight, and the sin which ensnared them.

Jesus Christ is the model presented to us by God Himself; to Him alone He is well pleased.

Who is your model?

Lord! I receive the grace to resemble Christ Jesus in His attributes in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
There are several heroes in life but Christ Jesus is our model!!!

Have a Delightful Thursday!!!
