His Example

Christ suffered for you,
and left you an example
to have you follow in His footsteps.

He did no wrong;
no deceit was found in His mouth.
When He was insulted,
He returned no insult.

When He was made to suffer,
He did not counter with threats.
Instead He delivered Himself up
to the One who judges justly.

In His own body
He brought your sins to the cross,
so that all of us, dead to sin,
could live in accord with God’s will.

By His wounds you were healed.

For you had gone astray like sheep,
but you have now returned to the
Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
~1 Peter 2:21-25
