Everyone
is a teacher! I don’t mean
professionally, but we are all teaching somebody something whether we realize
it or not. There is at least one person
who copies your actions, dress, reactions, manner of speaking, etc., because
that person wants to be like you.
Some days
that is a bit of a scary thought! Phillipians
3:17 is a good reminder that people are following our Christianity: “ Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample.” Is my Christianity worth
following? Do I give others a clear
picture of Christ? How about my home
life? Do I act one way at church, then
act another way at home? I am always
supposed to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, not just when I’m in public. My children are the ones that are noticing my
example the most often.
If you
are a leader in any area, whether as a Sunday School teacher, bus worker,
church musician, Junior Church worker, usher, greeter, or any other area, you
have a great responsibility of maintaining a life of example. If you are a parent, be the right example all
the time, expecially at home. May we be
able to say to others, “Follow me, as I follow Christ.”
