Yesterday, we understand from Scriptures that the husbandman has a better life in Jesus Christ. The reason why you have a better life in Jesus Christ is because He is the good and perfect example of the husbandman that you must follow.
Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, 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 says that you should look to Jesus Christ as the husbandman because He is the life that you desire as the good and godly man, husband and father. Jesus Christ represents the kind of person God wants you to be.
As the husbandman, why should I look to Jesus Christ and walk in His footsteps?
The first reason is because Jesus Christ is perfect and He is love. Thank God for the lives of your pastors or bishops whom you revere. But they are not perfect. Only Jesus Christ is perfect (Eph.5:25).
Secondly, God wants you to follow after Jesus Christ because He is the way, the truth and the life (Jn.14:16). In Jesus Christ, you find direction, guidance and wisdom.
Thirdly, Jesus Christ represents the light and life that you need to be useful as the husbandman and live the abundant life (Jn.10:10). Jesus Christ is the life you must have to attract the loyalty, respect, honour and faithfulness you deserve and desire as the man, husband and father. The more of His life you have manifesting in and through you, the more attractive you become to your wife, children and the world.
Therefore, looking to Jesus Christ and walking in His footsteps is the best way you can grow, develop and manifest the good and godly character of the husbandman.
Praise be unto Jesus Christ!
