Fun Dip

By Jackie Brown

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV

My son watched his older brother and sister eagerly lick the Fun Dip stick clean, while he chewed a Starburst. A few weeks later he waved a baggie proudly. “It’s my Fun-Dip,” he said with a sly smile. His copycat version was Metamucil, an adult medicine to help you go to the bathroom.

Older brothers and sisters are to be good role models, but did you know we have the greatest role model of all–Jesus Christ? He was sinless and perfect in every way.

The Bible tells us how often Jesus was tempted to do bad things and he never gave in. People said hurtful things and lied about him, yet he treated people with love. He is the perfect example to follow and copy when we have a problem.

When you need an answer to a problem, turn to the Bible’s concordance (in the back) and search. Through stories, the Bible shows us how to respect parents, overcome jealousy, apologize to a friend, tell the truth, and feel peace during loneliness. What action from Jesus do you need to “copy” today?

Jesus has the answer to all your troubles. Have fun dipping into the Bible.
