LOOKING TO AND LEARNING AT THE FEET OF JESUS CHRIST (1)

Bible Texts: Jn.15:1-5, 1Pet.5:6, Jn.14:26, Jas.4:10, Matt.5:14-16, Rom.12:1-3, Heb.12:2, Rom.12:21, Rom.5:5, Eph.2:6, Jas.4:6

Like the apprentice who wants to learn a trade and become good at it, where is the place to learn about the works of the good and godly husbandman? And who shall the husbandman go to learn from? These are important questions you and I must ask ourselves and find answers to because the will of God is that you and I turn out to be the good and godly husbandmen.

Now, let us find out the place to look to for our learning towards becoming the good and godly husbandman.

Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith……(Heb.12:1-2)

The word of God is the arena where you can learn the art of becoming the good and godly husbandman and Jesus Christ is the Person from whom you can learn all that you need to know to function as the good and godly man, husband and father. Jesus Christ is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. He represents how the godly man should behave and conduct his affairs-having deep fellowship with the Father; how the godly husband should be-loving inspite of the failings of others; how the godly father should live-the source, provider and sustainer.

Your pastor, bishop, reverend are good but they are not the perfect example to look to in your journey to becoming the good and godly husbandman. Jesus Christ is and the only perfect example.

Jesus Christ is the foundation of how you are to build your life as the good and godly man, husband and father. Others can falter and they have their shortcomings, weaknesses and failings but Jesus Christ does not have any of that. He is the way, the truth and the life. He alone is the Person you must follow and His word is His Person in written form (Jn.5:39, Acts 1:1, 2Cor.5:17, 2Tim.2:15).

But why must I look to and learn at the feet of Jesus Christ and from His word?

We shall continue tomorrow, even as I pray that you will make up your mind today to look to and learn at the feet of Jesus Christ as the husbandman.
