Walk as Christ Walked - Steps Towards Eternity Daily Devotional

The Path of Christ—A Walk of Faith and Endurance

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.”
— Colossians 2:6 (KJV)

Jesus walked a perfect walk. There is no temptation you have experienced that He did not face Himself. He was tempted just as we are, yet He never sinned. He also subjected Himself to a very modest life, often considered poor—born in a stable, raised by a carpenter.

He came from Heaven, where He had everything—things beyond our understanding. Yet, He chose to live as we do. At any moment, He could have called for help, and legions of angels would have come in the blink of an eye, but He never did. That is discipline beyond belief.

From the moment of His birth to His final breath, He endured hardships. He was rejected, mocked, and falsely accused. And in the end, He was beaten beyond what anyone could possibly imagine and crucified in the most brutal and humiliating way.

That was the hardest walk anyone has ever had to endure—and He did it out of love for us. The walks we face in life aren’t always a bed of roses. But each time we struggle, let us think of Jesus and what He endured for us. Through Him, we can overcome.

We are not alone in our walk—we have the Holy Spirit just as He did. And as the Word reminds us, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).

Reflective Questions:

1.    In what ways can I walk more closely with Christ in my daily life?
    2.    How can I rely on the Holy Spirit during my struggles?
    3.    What temptations do I face that Jesus also endured, and how did He overcome them?
    4.    Am I trusting God in my hardships, knowing that Jesus also suffered for me?
    5.    How does Jesus’ endurance encourage me to persevere in my own walk of faith?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus to walk the path of humanity, enduring suffering and hardship so that I might have life in Him. Help me to follow His example, to walk in faith, and to trust in You during every trial. Fill me with the strength of the Holy Spirit so that I may stand firm in my journey. When I struggle, remind me of the sacrifice Jesus made and the love that carried Him through. May I walk in Him daily, growing in faith and obedience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
