Christ . . . [left] you a model for you to follow his steps closely. —1 Pet. 2:21.



Jesus kept his life simple so that he could freely minister to others. (Luke 9:58) He was modest
and always based his teaching on the Scriptures. (John 5:19;17:14, 17) He was approachable
and kind. Love was the motivation for everything he did. (Matt.19:13-15; John 15:12) Jesus’ example
had a positive influence on his apostles.

For instance, James did not cower in the face of death but until he was executed, loyally
served God. (Acts 12:1, 2) John faithfully followed in Jesus’ footsteps for more than 60 years.(Rev. 1:1, 2, 9)

Elders who are self-sacrificing, humble, and loving provide the kind of example
that younger men need.

—1 Pet.5:2, 3. w11 11/15 5:7, 8
