Only 1 example
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.1 Peter 2:21
I had a friend fairly recently express her frustrations with the actions of fellow Christian friends. She felt confused by their example and therefore felt they were hypocritical, questioning the worth of their friendships. It is her choice what to do about the friendships, however, I wanted to share with you my thoughts in responding to my friend. I didn't have the words to share with her then, but as I've thought about it...the impression I got from her was that she was looking to them as her example...however, we as Christians need to understand and be reminded, we are to only follow Christ's example! My other suggestion is to talk to our friends about the behaviors she feels is hypocritical. We are to hold each other accountable to our actions so that we reflect Christs example as best as we can.
