HTML:"For hereunto were ye called; because Christ alsosuffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow in his steps." It was Fridaymorning and the Rev. Henry Maxwell was trying to finish his Sunday morningsermon.

"Yes, Henry. ButI am going over to visit the kindergarten and you will have the house all toyourself." The minister wentup into his study and shut the door. In a few minutes he heard his wife go out,and then everything was quiet. He settled himself at his desk with a sigh ofrelief and began to write. His text was from 1 Peter 2:21: "For hereunto wereye called; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that yeshould follow his steps." He had emphasizedin the first part of the sermon the Atonement as a personal sacrifice, callingattention to the fact of Jesus' suffering in various ways, in His life as wellas in His death. He had then gone on to emphasize the Atonement from the sideof example, giving illustrations from the life and teachings of Jesus to showhow faith in the Christ helped to save men because of the pattern or characterHe displayed for their imitation. He was now on the third and last point, thenecessity of following Jesus in His sacrifice and example. He had put down"Three Steps. What are they?" and was about to enumerate them in logical order whenthe bell rang sharply. It was one of those clock-work bells, and always wentoff as a clock might go if it tried to strike twelve all at once.. Media Type: eBook.
