How now shall we live?

From John Piper's book, Reading the Bible Supernaturally:

Jesus was a person of unwavering and incomparable love for God and man. He became angry when God was dishonored by irreligion (Mark 11:15-17), and when man was destroyed by religion (Mark 3:4-5). He taught us--and showed us how--to be poor in spirit, meek, hungry for righteousness, pure in heart, merciful, and peaceable (Matthew 5:3-9). He urged us to honor God from the heart (Matthew 15:8) and to put away all hypocrisy (Luke 12:1). And He practiced what He preached. He was meek and lowly in heart (Matthew 11:29). His life was summed up as "doing good and healing" (Acts 10:38). He took time for little children and blessed them (Mark 10:13-16). He crossed social barriers to help women (John 4), foreigners (Mark 7:24-30), lepers (Luke 17:11-18), harlots (Luke 7:36-59), tax collectors (Matthew 9:9-13), and beggars (Mark 10:46-52). He washed His disciples' feet, like a slave, and taught them to serve rather than be served (John 13:1-20). Even when He was exhausted His heart went out in compassion to the pressing crowds (Mark 6:31-34). Even when His own disciples were fickle and ready to deny Him and forsake Him, He wanted to be with them (Luke 22:15), and He prayed for them (Luke 22:32). He said His life was a ransom for many (Mark 10:45), and as He was being executed, He prayed for the forgiveness of His murders (Luke 23:34).

We are His followers, ladies. He did this for us. And this is how we are called to live.
