The life of the Lord Jesus demonstrated a God-Focused Man that chose to please God before self, and who cared more for the needs of others before His own. Jesus was a Man Who delighted to do the Father's will and could pray in the most grueling of circumstances. Jesus set aside His own desires and needs because of His love for His Father in heaven, but He also had to suffer the reproaches of men because of His relationship to His Father. The reproaches of those who hated God were transferred as a concentrated loathing onto Christ Himself. We are not of this world, we have been born again into a new creation and have been imputed with the nature of Christ. How fitting that we should become imitators of Him; not in what He did, He was truly God and we are not, but in how He lived, He was truly Man and so are we. Jesus lived His life as unto to Lord and for the eternal benefit of all mankind. He only said and did those things that He heard from His Father and suffered reproach for His love of God and the people of God. Let us seek to live as He lived, in total obedience to God, only doing those things that we hear from Him, showing a zeal for His Word and a deep love for the Church, which is His Body, knowing that it is fitting and right that we should live as unto the Lord, for His greater glory. Romans 15:3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Christ came to earth to become our Savior. Thank You that He did not come to earth to please Himself, but was prepared to say, "Thy will be done," even when He faced the Cross, knowing that it was only by His death that we can have life. Thank You so much, Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
