Start the Party - High SchoolSample

In this part of an ancient letter from one of Jesus’ best friends, a guy named John, we’re told two things: To love God, we should obey God, and we obey God by living like Jesus. Sometimes knowing exactly how to practice your faith can feel complicated. But, to one of Jesus’ closest friends, it was simpler than we might think. All we have to do is follow the example of Jesus. His life, which we can read about in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), shows us how we should live every day. Living like Jesus means loving like Jesus, treating others the way He did, and seeing ourselves as valuable. When we follow Jesus’ example, we end up experiencing life the way we were created. Today, take some time to pray and ask for God’s help as you set out to live and treat other people as Jesus did.
