An Example to Follow and a Shepherd to Lead

1Peter 2:20-21

For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

Christ the suffering servant, was the obedient Son. He found favor with God because He was mindful of God during suffering. He never stumbled, He never sinned not once.
