Gratitude is the will of God in Christ Jesus. Jesus was thankful. He gave thanks publicly, and it is certain that he did so privately as well. Why would the Son of God have to give thanks? After all, He was responsible for every good thing. As with much that he did, it was to set the example for His followers. It was the right thing to do. If for no other reason than the fact that Jesus did it, we should practice gratitude. Let’s consider the specific ways that are present in Scripture that show us the example of Christ in giving thanks.
