Lenten Thoughts (Day 5): Christ, our example

"Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, to follow in his path.

He committed no sin, in his speech there was no deceit;

when they cursed him, he did not curse them;

when he suffered, he did not threaten retribution, but committed them to the one just judge.

He endured our sins in the sufferings of his body on the tree,

so that we would die to our sins and live for righteousness."
- 1 Peter 2

By our actions this Lent, may we strive to justify Christ's death on the cross for us, by our own willing death to our selves and by our efforts to live for Him.
