"Follow His Steps Closely" - Conclusion of HOW CAN WE FOLLOW JESUS' FOOTSTEPS CLOSELY?

 First, bring the Gospel accounts to life.  Use your  imagination to see, hear, and feel what was happening.  To help you do that, do some research in the study aids  provided by Jehgovah's organization.  Examine the context-the events that come before or follow after the passage you are studying.  Look for information that explains the background and the circumstances.  Compare the account you are studying with a parallel account in another Gospel.  Sometimes one Gospel writer includes a meaningful detail that another leaves out.

Second, apply the Gospel accounts in your life.   (John 13:17)  After you have carefully studied a Gospel account, ask yourself:  'Is there a lesson in this account that I can apply in my life?  How can I used this account to help someone else?  Try to think of a specific individual, and then at an appropriate time, lovingly and tactfully share the lesson you learned. 

Lert us consider  an example of how we can apply these two suggestions. We will examine the accounts of the needy widow whom Jesus observed in the temple.
