as a christian a lot of time we choose to please our self and faile to follow Jesus foot step. A lot of time we have being hurt by people and we react in a negetive way. But if we should study our bible and see when Jesus was on earth, then we would react differently. The bible says pray for them who despitfully use us. I know we are all human with feeling and at times we let our emotion run wild. But I believe if we develope that close relationship with Jesus them he will teach us how to react throught his words, And we will be able to be more mature christian in the lord. Let us live by Jesus example, because he live a perfect life that we can follow.

I love what you say but let's back up one more step. Everything concerning Jesus was God's example He set right before us of what He can do with any flesh and blood man, woman or child. Jesus had one thing that very few people have now days. That is the Anointing of the Holy Ghost (KJV). If you remember the day Jesus was baptized God Anointed him with the Holy Ghost. It says something to the effect that the Holy Ghost descended from Heaven in the form of a dove and remained on Jesus. This was followed by 40 days and nights alone with God. In these 40 days and nights God shared His wisdom and power with Jesus. Jesus knew exactly what he was supposed to say or do even before he needed to. Every word he spoke, every thought he though and every move his body made was totally controlled by God's wisdom. This all came from God to Jesus through the Anointing.
This same anointing is just as real today as it was then Our problem now is getting all our little ducks in a row and getting into a position where God can Anoint us. You and I can only do what we have been taught to do. You and I have not been correctly taught concerning the Anointing of the Holy Ghost. We all need to beg God with tears in our eyes to teach and guide us to a point where He can Anoint us. Then and only then is God free to share His wisdom and Power with is just like He did Jesus. Read your New Testament close thinking along these lines and see if God won't reveal some of His truth with you.

This is very wise. If we just stop and read our Bible on a daily basis and allow God to work in and through us our lives and the lives of those around us would change dramatically. Unfortunately though, we fail miserably on a daily basis. BUT, if we ask Him to forgive us He will and so we pick back up our cross daily so we may continue to walk with HIM daily!
