Yesterday I came across a video asking a simple question: is Jesus my role model? Take a look:
1 John 2:6: Whoever claims to abide in [Jesus] ought to live (just) as he lived.
I find this video very challenging, because as a 21st century American, my life doesn't naturally aim toward humility or servanthood. Far too often, its a daily power struggle. Even the little things like taking out the trash or loading the dishwasher become a bitter internal battle -- "It's not my turn. I did it last time. It will be okay if the trash isn't taken out today. The dishes will be fine sitting there overnight."
My choice boils down to 1) do I serve my family as Jesus would, imitating his servanthood? or 2) do I become caught up in keeping score?
