As followers of Jesus, we follow a standard set by Jesus. He is our model to mimic. He is the standard we hold to which we hold ourselves. However, we often see Jesus as merely our Savior, not our example. It’s easy to look to Jesus for forgiveness for our past sins and security for our eternity while not embracing him as a model for our lifestyle in the present. This song is a picture of what it looks like to believe in Jesus AND seek to live like Jesus.

Celebrate this Independence Day amid the heart of mid‑Missouri with family‑friendly festivals and fireworks that promise fun for all ages.
