Bible Note: Thank you Mark. It only fair for me to point out that our Lord Jesus had one huge advantage over us in being able to perform His Fathers will, and that is that He was not born a sinner, as we are, but He who knew no sin, was made sin for us all. He did not only come here to die for us, but also to show us by His life, how we can live in the way that God intended us to in the first plase. Examine carefully how He, Jesus did it, and you will at the same time discover how you are intended to do it. Pay special attention to His own description of the attitude that He allways adopted towards His Father. John's Gospel is best for this, look at Ch 1 v 18, Ch 11 vs 41b and 42, It was not Jesus who raised Lazarus from the dead, but as Acts 2:22, says "God did through Him". May the Lord bless you adundantly brother Mark. Yours, in His service. Edwin. |
