Matthew 20:17-28 – JESUS, OUR ROLE MODEL
First or all, Jesus is to be our Savior. John 14:6, John 3:16
Secondly, Jesus should be the role model, whose example we follow daily. Luke 9:23
SACRIFICE OF THE MASTER – Vss. 17-19
Jesus went to Jerusalem, knowing that He would lay down his life as a sacrifice for sin.
We are to live our lives as a “living sacrifice” for Him. Romans 12:1
SIMILARITY TO THE MASTER – Vss. 20-23
James and John were willing to suffer for the sake of their master, although they were wrong to seek glory. May we be willing to also suffer, if needed, for our Master’s sake.
SERVICE LIKE THE MASTER – Vss. 24-28
Jesus served others while He was here on earth and then gave His life as a ransom for many.
If we are going to follow Jesus as a role model, our lives should be given in service to others.
