How do we change our attitudes and actions? By staying close to Jesus.

There is a lot in the Bible: stories, songs, proverbs, instructions and laments. Where do we begin in seeking truth and goodness? For me, it is an easy answer: Jesus. He is the only incarnate Son of God; the only one who has seen the Father and knows His heart; the only one who can save us from our sins. He is the Word incarnate, in whom all truth is found.

Years ago, there was an expression, “What would Jesus do?” The Bibles back in those days often had the words of Jesus printed in red in order to easily identify them and to set them apart from the words of the men and women who authored and/or were featured in the Bible.

In today’s world, we may find ourselves confused as to what is right and wrong. It seems like the world’s ideas are always changing. But God stays the same. Jesus said He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Find His words in your Bible. Look at the life He lived, as a model for us to follow. Find Him, and you will find goodness and life.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 8:12

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33

Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps. — I Peter 2:21
