The Example

"For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.                                                    
(John 13:15 KJV)

When we have God giving directions and man listening and then praying (talking to God), we need a place to meet and Our Awesome God provided that in the form of Jesus Christ.  Jesus was man when He was ascending to God and God when He descended to earth.  He was not a spelled out definition of religion, He was a lived out definition of what religion should be.  He was the Perfect Example of what God wanted man to be. 

Look carefully at Jesus Christ's relationship with Our Awesome God and with man.  His purity, His love, His care for the sinful and His mastery over the environment are awesome!  He knew and understood all things from the way society worked to how to overcome prejudice in all races.  His giving of His life to enable sinful man to gain heaven with Our Awesome God by acceptance of Jesus Christ as their only way to heaven was miraculous.

Think of this for a moment, by making Jesus Christ your Lord, you clear away the many "gods", all the magic, all the superstitions, all the controversies about rite and ceremony, and gain the opportunity to get down to the basic living of one’s life.  It gives you someone who puts your welfare first and who knows all the answers.  Jesus Christ was the only sacrifice God would accept, with no blemishes (unlike us) and with full understanding of what He was doing for us.  What wonderful love!  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 KJV)   

Our Awesome God still keeps charge of this universe, but His Son, Jesus Christ, will be the ultimate authority into eternity.   So follow Him (the Perfect Example), learning as much as possible about this God that loves and wants you to know His kingdom and expectations.   

We need someone who is perfect in every way to model our lives after whether it is emotionally, mentally. physically or spiritually.  No person living on this earth is a perfect person without a flaw but Jesus Christ was.  We all have done something we shouldn't have done or thought something we had no right to think, because we did not start or create this world, either the animate or inanimate objects.   We are not Our Awesome God !
