"For even hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps." (1 Peter 2:31)
Christ came to the world to demonstrate to us the supernatural life that God has called us to live. When He worked on earth, His life and ministry were an absolute demonstration of the righteousness of God and dominion of he Spirit. He had a different mind set, one of absolute mastery. He wasn't subject to the depravities and corrupting influences of this world. He ruled over nature and lived above it; His triumphant life on earth was an example for us all to follow.
Since we have the same life and nature with Him, we also can live triumphantly everyday with dominion over circumstances. The Bible says as He is so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Jesus opened blind eyes, made the lame walk, walked on water, unstopped deaf ears, restored speech to the dumb, raised the dead and literally transcended natural laws.
When the wind billowed against the ship as He sailed with His disciples, with audacity, He commanded the winds and the waves to be calm. His disciples who were present, were awestruck and exclaimed, "...what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" (Mathew 8:27)
This is the Jesus that we follow and whose life and nature we have. Every step He tool and every word He spoke were outflows of the supernatural. We are exactly like Him and ought to live the supernatural life all our lifetime. Divinity is at work in you. Praise God!
