How God Expects All His Children To Live

 This verse gives a glimpse behind the scene of what the immortal, invisible, eternal, omniscient, omnipotent Son of God did in order to be born into the human race, to live as the perfect, Son of Man, and to die as the innocent Sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. He set aside His own will to carry out the will of the Father.
 The Lord Jesus in His earthly mission and ministry is the singular demonstration of How God Expects All His Children To Live. We were created to live in utter dependence upon our heavenly Father, in complete submission to the Word of God and in total surrender to the will of the Almighty. Christ's life is a testimony of the way God desires all men and women to live.
The Lord Jesus in His earthly mission and ministry is the singular demonstration of how God expects all His children to live: doing nothing in and of ourselves, but only doing and saying those things that we hear from Him. May we seek to follow His example only saying and doing what we hear from the Lord so that we may be able to say: "My judgement is just because I do not seek my own will, but the will of my Father in heaven."
John 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for Jesus, our perfect example of how we should live to Your praise and glory. Help us to do only those things that are pleasing to You, so that in all things we are enabled to say without fear and failure, "Thy will not ours be done." This we ask in Jesus' name. AMEN.
