Why do you admire someone?
We usually look up to people who have good qualities and have done good deeds. Sometimes, these are the people whom we consider as heroes. And when face difficult times, we tend to recall how these people (we admire) overcame struggles and we find their testimonies as reliable source of encouragement and strength.
If that's the case, why don't we try to look at the story of Jesus in the bible who is a perfect example of humanity?
- He let himself be insulted so that you may know that true honor can never be found here on earth but in Him alone.
- He let himself be homeless so that you may know that your true home and refuge is Him.
- He let himself be beaten so that you may know there's someone who shares your pain.
- He let himself be betrayed so that you may know that He is the only one you can trust.
- He let himself starve so that you may know that life is not about what we take but by following what God wants for us.
- He let himself undergo such terrible situations so that you may realize that you are not alone and he does care for you and me.
Indeed, He is someone who is worthy to look up to and be admired. He is a trustworthy friend whom we can lean our shoulders on.
