Jesus has provided us with a pattern to follow in the words He supplied by the Holy Spirit to the inspired writers of the New Testament. We must follow His pattern in what we do in order to be faithful to Him. If we do not follow His pattern, we will not be what or who He intended. He will not recognize us nor accept what we have done. Jesus will judge us by that pattern of sound words that He supplied as He said in John 12:48. This lesson shows that.
