Jesus is Our Example of How to Overcome Adversity

Apr 18, 2024Steve Wilkinson

Doing your best is always doing it with and for our Savior. Worthy is His name and we must see him as the one who is always right.

Jesus set our example on how to overcome adversity. It is not easy or fun, but it is necessary and very rewarding. Wisdom is knowing the Bible, yourself, others, and situations. We must only judge ourselves compared to Jesus. Having wisdom is always recognizing the truth. God always speaks truth. When you hear something that is true, you know it is God. Educating and training ourselves on the difference between what the world tells us as lies, and what Jesus and the voice heaven is, it always tells us His truth. Truth is living our life for eternal life. Is what you’re hearing true not only here but in heaven? Would Jesus say this? Would the Bible say this? Is this what you'd do in heaven? Tell the truth, in love, to yourself and others.

How can people see Jesus in me? I have to judge myself by the Bible's standards. It is my responsibility to be an example.

We must strive for righteousness not rightness - to live a correct life by God. I don’t want to be right in the eyes of other people. It’s not about winning and proving I am right, but about living the example of righteousness. God's voice is the only voice, and it is always the truth. I am a child of God I am loved. I don’t need anyone else’s approval.

Set my example before Jesus. Jesus living in me and through me.
