“CONSIDER CLOSELY THE ONE WHO HAS ENDURED” 75 HowCanYouFollowJesus? ˘ How might we regard any suffering we may experience because of being a follower of Christ?—Matthew 5:10-12. ˘ What did Jesus tell his followers to expect, and how can we follow the counsel he gave?—Matthew 10:16-22. ˘ When facing opposition or persecution, how can we follow Jesus’ example?—1 Peter 2:18-25. ˘ What does faithful endurance under suffering confirm? —1 Peter 4:12-14. would strengthen others. (John 16:33) Granted, Jesus set the perfect example of endurance, but we are far from perfect. What does Jehovah expect of us? Peter explains: “Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely.” (1 Peter 2:21) In the way he dealt with trials, Jesus left “a model,” a pattern to be copied. The record of endurance that he built up may be compared to “steps,” or footprints. We cannot follow those steps perfectly, but we can follow them “closely.” 21 Let us, then, be determined to follow Jesus’ example to the best of our ability. Let us never forget that the more closely we follow in Jesus’ footsteps, the better equipped we will be to endure “to the end”—the end of this old system of things or the end of our present life. We do not know which will come first, but we do know this: For all eternity, Jehovah will reward us for our endurance.—Matthew 24:13. The Greek word translated “model” literally means “underwriting.” The apostle Peter is the only writer of the Christian Greek Scriptures to use this word, which is said to mean “ ‘a copyhead’ in a child’s exercise book, a perfect piece of writing which the child is to imitate as exactly as it can.”
S E C T I O N 2 “TEACHING... AND PREACHING THE GOOD NEWS” Carpenter. Miracle worker. Healer. Jesus was all of these and more. Yet, people did not use such terms when addressing him. They called him Teacher. Indeed, his lifework was“teaching...andpreachingthegoodnews.” (Matthew 4:23) As followers of Jesus, wehavethesameworktodo.Inthissection, we will study his example, which shows us the way. 76
