39. That there is given to us an example
of living in Christ.
In the Epistle of Peter to them of Pontus:
“For Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye may
follow His steps; who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth;
who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered,
threatened not, but gave Himself up to him that judgeth
unrighteously.”4405
Also Paul to the
Philippians: “Who, being appointed in the figure of God,
thought it not robbery that He was equal with God; but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a servant, He was made in the likeness of man, and
was found in fashion as a man. He humbled Himself, becoming
obedient even unto death, and the death of the cross. For which
cause also God hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a name, that it may
be above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should be
bowed, of things heavenly, and earthly, and infernal; and that every
tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in glory of God the
Father.”4406
Of this
same thing in the Gospel according to John: “If I have
washed your feet, being your Master and Lord, ye also ought to wash the
feet of others. For I have given you an example, that as I have
done, ye also should do to others.”4407
