Text: 1 Corinthians 11: 1-3
1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Key Verse: “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1
Message
An example is a pattern of what should be copied or avoided. Jesus’ desire is for His friends to be like Him and become His Example to others. He is our perfect Example of righteous living, love, humility, and many more. That was the way it was with Peter and John. The Jewish rulers who saw the character of Christ in them, “… took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) What a good example of Christ they were!

Are you an example of Christ in your school, at home, and in your neighborhood? Do you reflect Him in obedience, love, righteousness, and character? Do others see Jesus in you? Will Jesus recommend you as an example to others?
For you to be a true example of Christlike behaviour, you must repent from all sins and be born of God. You will become His child and have His nature. Then, desire to be more like Jesus, meditate on His words, and ask God in prayers to help you to live and obey Him every day.

Prayer for today: Dear Father, help me to truly be like Jesus and be a good example of Him to others.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
