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
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)
Yesterday, by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit, we understand from the word of God that the perfect example you and I must look to in our journey of becoming the good and godly husbandman is Jesus Christ. We recognize that learning about Jesus Christ and doing what He commands us to do is the foundation to living and conducting our lives after the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. Your pastor, bishop, reverend or even your human example like your mother’s husband is 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.
But why must I learn at the feet of Jesus Christ and from His word?
Firstly, it is because you are made in the image and likeness of God and you are seated with God through Jesus Christ in heavenly places (Gen.1:26-28, Eph.2:6). Secondly, Jesus Christ also has all the keys and answers that will make you win every challenge you may have in your journey to becoming the good and godly the man, husband and father (Jn.14:6).
However, there is the right attitude you must have if you want to be like and learn at the workshop of the Master, Jesus Christ.
The first attitude is for you to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus speaking says, you must be born again (Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17). Secondly, you must be willing and be obedient to do all His commandments and instructions regarding your roles as the man, husband and father (Is.1:19). Thirdly, you must be humble in your spirit because until you accept that you do not know and you are willing to learn, you will not enjoy the grace that makes learning enjoyable (Jas.4:6). Finally, you must run your course as the husbandman with patience. The Scripture says, …..with patience run the race that is set before you (Heb.12:1b).
The Master Teacher, Jesus Christ is ever ready and prepared to accept and teach you as His apprentice. He said so in Jn.14:26. I will send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. He will teach you all things…. (Jn.14:26). So, make a choice today to renew your apprenticeship with Jesus Christ and become like Him to your wife, children and in the marketplace.
Hallelujah!
