follow the Lamb's example of meekness

"Now it is the character of all saints that they follow the Lamb: as a lamb they follow him in his meekness, and are therefore so often called the sheep of Christ. This is that part of his copy which He expressly calls us to write after: 'Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.' If the master is mild, it ill becomes the servant to be froward. The apostle is speaking of Christ's meekness under his sufferings, when he says that he 'left us an example, that we should follow his steps."
