The apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 11:1, 'Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ,' take on new meaning as we explore the reality of our struggles and failures. We learn that it's not about being perfect, but about allowing others to see Jesus changing us. This perspective shift can transform how we approach parenting and discipleship. By being honest about our flaws and showing our children how we strive to follow Jesus despite them, we provide a more authentic and impactful example. The message reminds us that our failures don't disqualify us from leading others to Christ; instead, they can become powerful testimonies of God's ongoing work in our lives.
