Look to Jesus

 ...we must keep looking to Jesus as the One whom we should follow in our daily conduct. Our Lord Jesus says to us, His disciples to-day, as He said to his early disciples, “Follow Me.” The whole secret of true Christian conduct can be summed up in these two words, “Follow Me.” “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself so to walk even as He walked” (I John 2:6). One of the commonest causes of failure in Christian life is found in the attempt to follow some good man whom we greatly admire. No man and no woman, no matter how good, can be safely followed. If we follow any man or woman, we are bound to go astray. There has been but one absolutely perfect Man on this earth—the Man Christ Jesus. If we try to follow any other man we are more sure to imitate his faults than his excellencies. Look to Jesus and Jesus only as your Guide.
