These Officers Direct ‘Even As He Walked’’ | John 1:2—6 ‘He that saith that he abideth in him ought himself to walk even as he walked.”’ To walk as Jesus walked is a high goal. It is one we will do imperfectly. But only as we strive to walk as He walked will we grow into the fullness of fellowship with Him. IT IS A WALK WITH GOD. The closeness of Jesus’ relationship to His Father is seen in His prayers and the Will of the Father in the Son. If we walk as Jesus walked, it will be a walk with God the Father. IT IS A WALK WITH MAN. In spite of His sinlessness He was able to establish a bond with sinful men to lead them from their unright- eousness. The Christian is always faced with the problem of his high standards and the need for contact with men who need Jesus. It is a walk with sin. Christ was constantly in contact with the sinner and his sin. It is a walk in purity. Though Christ was in contact daily withthe sinner and sin, He was sinless. IT IS, SOMETIMES, A WALK IN ANGER. Was Christ ever angry? His denunciation of the Pharisees and His cleansing of the temple, together with other infrequent examples, indicate that He was. His anger was in regard to great matters and great wrongs. When we walk with Jesus, we must be angry because of the gross injustices of men. IT IS A WALK IN MERCY. Though Jesus was angry with gross injustice, He was quick to show mercy for the penitent. Witness the publican in the temple and the woman taken in adultery. We will demonstrate that we walk with Jesus when we can stand for righteousness but extend the hand of mercy to those who need mercy. IT IS A WALK IN SERVICE. Even the use of His miracles testify to the service Christ rendered to mankind. He taught that the greatest should be the servant of all. No individual can serve without self-denial. IT IS A WALK IN SUFFERING. The pathway of Christ led inevitably to a bloody cross. While our suffering may not take the form of a cross ona hill, there will be obstacles to face, sacrifices to make, a cross to bear—if we are to walk where Jesus walked. It will not be a suffer- ing that we have to seek, but one that will come naturally because we have chosen to walk where Jesus walked. IT IS A WALK TO VICTORY. The pathway with Jesus leads inevitably to victory. There was a cross before Jesus, and He walked toward it. But there was victory in the cross and the empty tomb, which is an intrinsic part of the cross. Walk with Jesus. There is pain there. There is also the joy of fulfillment and the knowledge of victory. W. W. Perry, President [124
