Who is Your Role Model?

Since Jesus alone demonstrated to us how a perfect life should be lived, there really is no need for any other role model. Since He made it possible for himself to live in us, the role model we seek is inside of us. For higher than God Himself, a role model we cannot find! Indeed it is possible to be inspired by the actions, deeds or sayings of others, but emulating a role model goes much deeper than that.

It surpasses emulation of a deed, action or saying. It involves fashioning your character after that of your role model. For men may do admirable deeds, say courageous and insightful words and act bravely now and again, but those closest to them know just how fallible the hero can be. It was Jesus who lived the only perfect life and that alone means His character is the prototype of the perfection we seek!
