This perfect pattern – Thomas Brooks

“He who says he abides in Him, ought himself also to walk even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6

Oh that this blessed Scripture might always lie warm upon our hearts. A Christian’s whole life should be nothing but a visible representation of Christ. It is not only our liberty but our duty and glory, to follow Christ inviolably in all His moral virtues. Other patterns are imperfect and defective but Christ is a perfect pattern! Of all His children, they are the happiest, who come nearest to this perfect pattern.

“Leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” 1 Peter 2:21
