For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you,

leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 

He did not commit sin,  and no deceit was found in his mouth; 

when he was insulted,

he did not insult in return; when he suffered, 

he did not threaten 

but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.

1 Peter 2:21-23 CSB

Jesus example, even when under immense pressure he did not sin.

Spoke only the truth.

Did not insult or threaten. 

Under pressure I have sinned, lied, insulted back and threatened.

All of the above.

But the secret revealed here is not changing my thoughts and actions and words, both the ones that run around in my head and the ones I say out loud. Good and important to do those things.

The secret sauce, the key ingredient, is that Jesus trusted in someone bigger.

His Heavenly Father.

Following Jesus example can't be done without trusting in someone bigger. We'll always come up short.

Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for us if our lives are wrapped in Jesus life. 

We get to follow Jesus without fear of failure, without fear of not being good enough, because our lives are already secure.

Safe

Unseperable.
