Courage. The
most courageous person we will ever know is Jesus. He willingly went to the
cross for us. Knowing the pain and humiliation that He would have to endure—He courageously
went anyway. Sure Jesus IS God—but He
was human, too. He felt all the emotions, trials, tribulations and temptations
that we feel. He must have been not desired to go to the cross—He prayed in the
Garden of Gethsemane, …My Father, if it
is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will. Matthew
26:39. He courageously went anyway. He had the choice—He courageously went
anyway. What an example for us. If we want to be like Jesus, then we have to
face any situation or trial with courage…and do what is right.
Training Tip – Ask your family what “courage” means. Read the story
of David and Goliath as an example. Let your children act out the story of
David and Goliath. David was courageous.
Lord Jesus, I praise you that…being found in
appearance as a man, You humbled Yourself by becoming obedient to the point of
death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8) Help us to be courageous and
obedient to God the Father.
