In His Steps

I Peter 2:21-25 is a famous text to meditate on Christ's example which we are due to follow Him. Charles Sheldon's famous book In His steps "What would Jesus do?" just motivated a lot of christians to think and act accordingly.

During the Easter season my thoughts just focused on tw0 aspects of this text. We are asked to follow Christ on His response and act when facing injustice.

1.He Commits no sin --- His acts
2.No deceits found in His mouth --- His words

Christ as a free man can choose to commit sin yet he is victorious over sins after being tempted. (Hebrew 4:15)We are all slaves to sin and fail in this matter and always choose to sin. Either we are slaves to sin or we act like Christ win over sin when tempted and choose not to sin. Christ's victorious power in resuurection just overcomes our capacity towards sinning. With the Holy Spirit's help we can win over sins.

Christ even made no retaliation when suffered under injustices. He made no threats towards those evil doers. He is an example in this matter of unjust treatment. He did not commit sin through evil retorts and threats.

Lets' follow Christ's example when facing injustice.If we can control our thoughts and words,we choose not to sin like Him,we are following His steps and experience the resurrection power.
