If there is any life that you and I should follow as our example, it’s Jesus’s life. One of the reasons He became flesh and dwelt among us was so He could understand what we go through and show us how to live.
Hebrews 4:15 says, “We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Jesus understands completely what it is to be human.
We all have heroes in this life, both spiritual and natural heroes, whom we try to emulate and imitate. But really, if we just imitated Jesus and used Him as our constant example, we would always overcome. If, in every situation, we asked ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” we’d always end up with the right answer, wouldn’t we? He is our best example for overcoming. So what did Jesus do at the hardest time of His life? He got completely honest with His Father and prayed a prayer of dedication and submission to the will of God.
