Christ, Our Example

Pastor: Pastor Marc Wragg Series: Selected Scriptures Passage: 1 Peter 2:21–2:25

We must submit ourselves to every human institution, even when we are mistreated, because God calls us to richly display His work in our lives by following in the footsteps of Christ. Though rejected and reviled, Christ was the perfect example of godly endurance in conduct and speech, in patience, in suffering, in faith, and in love. Take courage from Him whose wounds healed us: He left heaven so that we could find it, He lost fellowship with God so that we could gain it, He died so that we could live, and He became sin so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.
