The first three parts of this mini-series reflected on how our Lord and Savior relates to any of us, as He walked a mile in our shoes. Today I wish to have us walk a mile in His!
Loving: 1John 4:7a NCV “Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God.” John 3:16 NCV “God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.” 1 Corinthians 16:14 NCV “Do everything in love.”
Humility: Mark 10:45 NCV “In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people.” Proverbs 11:2 ESV “When pride comes, then disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”
Compassion: Matthew 9:36 NCV “When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them because they were hurting and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Romans 12:15 ESV “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”
Forgiveness: Luke 23:34 NCV “Jesus said, ‘Father forgive them, because they don’t know what they are doing.” Ephesians 4:32 ESV “Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Gentleness: Matthew 5:9 NCV “They are blessed who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Titus 3:2 ESV “To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.”
Patience: 1 Timothy 1:16a NCV “but I was given mercy so that in me, the worst of all sinners, Christ Jesus could show that he has patience without limit.” Romans 12:12 ESV “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
Self Control: Proverbs 25:28 NCV “Those who do not control themselves are like a city whose walls are broken down.” 2 Timothy 1:7 ESV “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but power and love and self-control.” Proverbs 16:32 ESV “Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”
Honesty: John 14:6 NCV “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.” Proverbs 12:12 ESV “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.” Colossians 3:9 ESV “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices.”
Obedient: Philippians 2:8 NCV “And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death-death on a cross.” Exodus 23:22 ESV “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.”
Prayer: Luke 5:16 NCV “but Jesus often slipped away to be alone so he could pray.” Philippians 4:6 ESV “Do not be anxious about anything, it in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV “Pray without ceasing,”
