Revealing a Role Model

9/14/2015

0 Comments

 
"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross!" -Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
We see it often on television and in the news, whether from celebrities, athletes, or politicians: Someone thinks they are bigger, better, and above the laws or rules that apply to everyone else.  These people may have the mindset that they are "gods" or "untouchable".  We may even look up to these people as heroes and role models.  While their fame and positions may protect these people for a time, eventually the truth and the imperfection of their human nature is revealed.

Jesus was one "celebrity" that could have easily promoted Himself as the greatest man ever alive.  He was, in fact, God!  However, Jesus didn't promote Himself.  He didn't live above the law and the rules of human decency.  Instead, Jesus had the mindset of loving and helping others as a servant.  He was humbled.  He loved those that society said were "unlovable".  In Jesus' life, we didn't see the revelation of imperfection, but the revelation of a perfect man and sacrifice for each and every one of us!  As we look for a role model and example of how to live our lives, we turn our attention to Jesus.  As redeemed children of God, we can try our best to live a humble, loving life of service to all those around us!


Looking for a role model?  Look to Jesus as God reveals a perfect role model for you!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me, saving me, and giving me Jesus as a role model for my life.  Help me to emulate Jesus and to live a life that shows Your love through humility and service.  Through Jesus, my Redeemer and Role Model, I pray, amen.
