He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has now been set apart from sinners, and he has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.
Hebrews 7:26
Jesus was Blameless. He lived a blameless life. No one is able to point a finger to accuse Him of saying anything that was not true, nor of doing anything to hurt anyone. Jesus “knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21), and He was “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus lived a perfect life so that He could become a sacrifice without blemish for the sins of all (1 Peter 1:19). Now look to His life as a pattern for your life. People ask, “WWJD?” (What would Jesus do?). You couldn’t find a better example for your life. Let Him be your pattern for living.
Lord Jesus, I love You for first loving me. Thank You for Your perfect life and sacrificial death. Help me to follow Your example and live blamelessly.
Some might think that Jesus was harsh because He accused the Pharisees of being hypocrites, graves and snakes (Matthew 23:13-33); but what He said was true. Some might think that Jesus was cruel because He drove the moneychangers out of the Temple (John 2:14-17), but He did what was right. He was Blameless in both speech and actions. But Jesus wants to be more than an Example to you of a blameless life; He wants to live in you and make His home in your heart. Jesus wants to give you power to live a blameless life. Begin each day by yielding to His guidance, and when you feel resentful and angry, yield to His control.
Lord, I will learn about You and follow Your example. Help me live a blameless life today. Amen.
Jesus’ perfect life is our example.
