Christ Savior And Example

                                          1 Peter 2:21
                               "Christ also suffered for us,
                                   leaving us an example"

          Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross to be both our Savior from sin and our example for living.  If we fail to see Him as our Savior, our sins will not be forgiven.  If we fail to see Him as our example, we will live in disobedience to Him and miss out on His best for us.
          In 1 Peter 2:21 the apostle admonished his readers to follow the example of Christ, who trusted His Father enough to suffer undeservedly without retaliation or complaint.  In verse 24, we read that  "He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree."  This refers to Christ's work as our Savior.  He is both our Savior and our example.  I have received Jesus Christ as my Savior. Have you?  And though I'm not following Him perfectly, Christ is my perfect example.  Is Christ your example?
