The scriptures – Following His Example in Our Daily Lives

John 13:15 – “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”

Matthew 16:24 – “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'”

Matthew 5:14-16 – “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 22:37-39 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.'”

John 15:12-13 – “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Matthew 25:35-36 – “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

Luke 6:31 – “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

Matthew 7:12 – “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

Matthew 28:19-20 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

By studying the life and teachings of Jesus, we can learn to follow His example in our daily lives. This involves loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind, loving our neighbour as ourselves, and serving others as Jesus did. 

We are called to be a light in the world and to let our good deeds glorify God.

Learning from Jesus: Following His Example in Our Daily Lives

The Bible is full of teachings that can help us navigate our daily lives. One of the most important teachers we can learn from is Jesus Christ. His life and teachings provide us with an example of how to live a life of discipleship, and how to love and serve others.

In this study, we explore some of the key teachings of Jesus and how we can apply them in our daily lives to become better followers of Christ.

One of the central themes of Jesus’ teachings is love. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus tells us that the greatest commandments are to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. 

This is a key aspect of learning from Jesus, as we must seek to love God and others as Jesus did. We can do this by serving others, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 25:35-36, by loving our enemies, and by showing compassion to those in need.

Another aspect of learning from Jesus is discipleship. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus tells us that if we want to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. 

This means that we must be willing to give up our own desires and preferences in order to follow Jesus and serve others. We must also be willing to learn from His teachings and apply them in our lives.

Jesus also teaches us about the importance of being a light in the world. In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world and that we should let our good deeds shine so that others can see them and glorify God. 

This means that we must strive to live a life that reflects Jesus’ teachings and values and that we should seek to be a positive influence on those around us.

As we learn from Jesus and seek to follow His example, we must also remember to love and serve others. In John 13:15, Jesus tells us that we should serve others as He has served us. 

This means that we must be willing to humble ourselves and put the needs of others before our own. We can do this by showing kindness, compassion, and generosity to those in need.

Learning from Jesus also involves making disciples. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus tells us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He has commanded us. 

This means that we must seek to share the teachings of Jesus with others and to help them grow in their faith and discipleship.

Finally, learning from Jesus involves putting His teachings into practice in our daily lives. In Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12, Jesus tells us to treat others as we would like to be treated. 

This means that we must seek to be kind, compassionate, and generous to others, just as we would want others to be kind, compassionate, and generous to us.

Living Out the Teachings of Jesus in Our Daily Lives

As we come to the end of our Bible study on Learning from Jesus – Following His Example in Our Daily Lives, we want to take a moment to reflect on all that we have learned. 

Throughout this study, we explored various teachings of Jesus and how we can apply them to our lives today. We learned about the importance of love, compassion, forgiveness, and humility in our relationships with others. We also discovered the significance of prayer, faith, and obedience in our walk with God.

Through our study, we were reminded that following Jesus is not just about gaining knowledge or learning new things. It’s about transformation and living out the teachings of Jesus in our daily lives. 

It’s about becoming more like Him and reflecting His love and grace to the world around us. We were encouraged to continue to seek God, to abide in His presence, and to allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us.

As we conclude this study, we want to challenge ourselves to continue to apply these teachings to our lives and to live in a way that honours God and blesses others. 

Let us continue to learn from Jesus, follow His example, and grow in our faith as we walk with Him.
