WALKING AS JESUS WALKED

 "He who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:6 RSV"


Walking as Jesus walked means living in a way that reflects His actions and character. In 1 John 2:6, the Bible tells us that if we say we follow Jesus, our lives should look like His. It’s not just about saying we believe in Him; it’s about showing it through how we live. Jesus showed us how to obey God and love others, and we are called to do the same.

You can’t just say you follow Jesus; you must live like Him too. This applies to every part of life, but especially to your spiritual life. What does it mean to "live the way Jesus lived"? While some might think it’s about performing miracles, it’s really about living a life of love and obedience, just as Jesus did.

From a young age, Jesus obeyed God in everything. He followed God’s plan, even when it was hard. When He was popular, He didn’t stay in one place to enjoy the attention; He went where God sent Him. When people criticized Him for following God, He didn’t stop. Even when Satan tempted Him with power and riches, He refused.

Jesus’ ultimate act of obedience was going to the cross. Even when faced with unimaginable pain, He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42). This shows us that obedience to God sometimes requires sacrifice, but it always leads to His greater purpose.

Jesus loved everyone, especially those who were rejected by society. He cared for the poor, the sick, the lonely, and those others ignored. He showed kindness to prostitutes, tax collectors, lepers, and many others who needed His love.

When we live as Jesus lived, we stop focusing on ourselves and start focusing on God’s plans. We begin to notice people who need love and kindness, and we show them the same love Jesus showed.

Prayer: Dear God, Thank You for showing me how to live through Jesus. Help me to follow His example by obeying You and loving others. Thank You for guiding me each day. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
