And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
1 Thessalonians 1:6-7
Disciples follow their master
We do what we are shown
We know as we are known
We live what we see
We model what will be
Disciples imitate
Imitation is not hypocrisy
To follow is not just an act
Following puts feet to the fact
There is the truth in how we live
There is sacrifice in how we give
Disciples imitate
Disciples are an example
Jesus is recognized in us
Disciplemakers modeled by us
Others can do right too
Simply doing what we do
Disciples are examples
Examples can be followed
And in that way we proclaim
and live by our Savior’s name
We call others to follow Jesus
Just asking them to act like us
Disciples are examples
