This is my commandment: love others, as I have loved you. John 15:12.
Christ put his divine teachings into practice during his life. His zeal never led him to act with passion. The proof of perseverance without obstinacy, of kindness without weakness, of tenderness and sympathy without sentimentality. He was eminently sociable and showed a dignity which did not encourage inappropriate familiarity. His temperance is not the portrait nor bigotry, nor towards austerity. He does not conform to the world and does not remain indifferent to the needs of the little ones. His goodness was awakened by the sight of the miseries of all men.
From his earliest childhood to adulthood, Christ led an existence which is the perfect symbol of humility, activity and obedience. He was always full of attention and thoughtfulness for others, always animated by selflessness. Bearing the divine mark, he had come not to be served, but to serve. […]
Christ’s life of selflessness should serve as an example to us. The character of the Savior remains the model of the characters we have passed if we walk in the footprints of the master.
Tact and sureness of judgment multiply the efficiency of a worker. If it is the right time, in the right spirit, it exerts a beneficent influence on the heart of one who is trying to relax.
We practice prosperity to those who do not follow our faith. They do unto Christ and, on the day of the great reckoning, we will see them again. In the course of judgment we will be confronted with them, and our thoughts, our words, and our actions will be recorded, not as we imagined they were, but as they were actually valued. God wants us to love one another as Christ loved us.
