FOLLOWING IN HIS STEPS
One of the descriptions of believers is that we are Christ followers. We like to follow Christ when it is easy, but we must stay the course even in difficulty.
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.
- 1 Peter 2:21-23
We must not shrink back from following Christ when it means we have to suffer. If He suffered, being God, shall not we be willing to suffer also? May God grant us the grace to suffer for Christ without getting discouraged, angry, or retaliating. The servant is certainly not greater than his Lord. Part of the secret is committing ourselves to God as our righteous Judge. He sees all, and He will ultimately vindicate us.
