Excellent Example

"I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.... By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13:15,35).

Jesus, Lord of realms above,
Exalted on His throne,
Set it all aside for love
That He had for His own.

His splendor that He left behind,
His suffering in our stead,
Were all considered in His mind,
And yet He went ahead.

And thereby God has given us
This model of our Savior
That we should love each other thus
In likeminded behavior.
