We all need good examples in our lives. Jesus understood the importance of having a sample example and thats why he came to earth. Jesus lived his life as an example of God's love to people who didn't believe in him. When we fetch people for God, we do it through our friendships and through our example too.
You and I set an example to others by the way we live. There are good examples and bad examples. What kind of example do you think Jesus was?
Some of our friends have heard about Jesus, but they need to see him. They need somoene to live like Jesus, to be an example of a life lived like Jesus.
God wants you to be a sample example to your friends who don't know Jesus. You see, Jesus lived his life differently than everyone else. He was more kind, more forgiving and more caring to those who were lost. If you call yourself a christian that means you live your life differently than your friends who don't know Jesus.
Read Luke 19:1-10
