1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
We cannot by any means imitate every step Jesus made during His public ministry, but He did leave us an example.
The gospel records tell us how He suffered for righteousness’ sake.
When you and I suffer for our faith, we remember the example He left for us
Footsteps of Jesus

Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling, — “Come, follow Me!” — And we see where Thy footprints falling, — Lead us to Thee.
CHORUS:
Footprints of Jesus, — That make the pathway glow; — We will follow the steps of Jesus — Where’er they go.
Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains, — Seeking His sheep; — Or along by Siloam’s fountains, — Helping the weak.
If they lead through the temple holy, — Preaching the Word; — Or in homes of the poor and lowly, — Serving the Lord.
Then, at last, when on high He sees us, — Our journey done, — We will rest where the steps of Jesus — End at His throne.
Mary B. Slade 1871
