Follow the example of Jesus

I am the Lord your God, so obey me and don’t cheat anyone. ~ Leviticus 25:17 (CEV)

Jesus said: I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you. ~ John 13:15 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
Follow the example of Jesus.
PRAYER:
These words humble me as I strive to get the best deal at all costs. Forgive me, Jesus! Your commands are clear: put the best construction on the acts of others and pour love even on our enemies. Help me fulfill these commands, not by my will but by the gift and direction of your Spirit. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
