“Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.” Philippians 3:17
“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:11
The next series I have on my heart is to tackle what the example of Paul truly is. Many say they follow his example or say they want to, but I wonder what we would look like if we truly did.
Of course, some will say, “Well, he was an apostle, and we can’t follow his example.” But we have two scriptures above that prove otherwise (there are more … we’ll get to them, too). Even though Paul was an apostle, he made it clear that all should follow his example. In fact, I believe it was because of his authority over others that he felt the responsibility to be an example for others to follow.
I’m not sure how far we’ll get with this one, but the blogs should be a little shorter. I doubt they’ll be any less challenging, however.
Peace.
