Bebe's interpretation
If you seek inspiration or life lessons from anyone other than Jesus, you're doing it wrong. It's not to say that we shouldn't go to school and learn from teachers, mentors, and others who know us better than us. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't learn natural wisdom for living. Not at all! We speak of something deeper and more urgent. We speak of the inspiration to live and do all that you do.
Our lives are surrounded by many influences in our fast-paced twenty-first-century world. Sometimes, we forget to look to Jesus who is everything we should know to have. Jesus is the ultimate guide for the life of every human in existence. His ways have proven to be the acceptable and verified ways that please God.
We must learn the faith, endurance, and focus of Jesus in everything we do. Jesus was a man on earth who gave us the blueprint to serve God in righteousness and acceptable worship. We must study the life of Jesus with every resolve to master it and be exactly like Him. When He was sent by the Father, He obediently came. When He came, He lived a life of faith and confidence in God which made Him a doer of good and a worker of miracles. When it came time to suffer for the cause, He didn't abscond because He understood the true meaning of His purpose. He knew what awaited Him. And as a reward for diligence and character, God gave Him a name more powerful than any sound known to men and spirits.
God has also called us to certain responsibilities but we must be wise enough to look to Jesus and pattern our lives after His if we seek to be as victorious as Him.
