"[Christ] left you an example…that you would follow
in his steps" (I Peter 2:21).
A prince had a crooked back that kept him from
being the kind of prince he wanted to be. One day
the king had a sculptor make a statue that portrayed
the prince with a straight back. He placed it in the
garden. When the prince saw it, he meditated on it
and desired to be like it. Soon people began to say,
"The prince's back is getting straighter." When the
prince heard this, he began to spend hours meditating
on the statue. Then one day he stood as straight
as the statue.
This story is a parable of you and me. God sent us
Jesus to show us how we can become who we are
meant to be….
