Who is Jesus? #67 (No one like Him)

Jesus was the only one who has ever lived who was totally in submission to the will of His Father.
There is probably not much difference between yesterday's blog and today's because perfect understanding of the will of God will lead to perfect and total submission - perhaps a debatable point.
Why was Jesus in the temple at 12 years of age? Because that is where God wanted Him.
Why did he confront the existing religious establishment? Because that is what God wanted Him to do.
Why was He tempted by Satan after 40 days of fasting? Because God knew He had to go through that experience.
Why did Jesus raise Lazarus from the grave? Because God, not Jesus, had to receive glory.
Why was Jesus denied and rejected by His own followers:?Because God knew His son had to go through this alone.
Why did He go through a sorry excuse for a trial? Because God needed the sacrifice of an innocent lamb.
Why did he die on the cross? Because needed a perfect sacrifice for our sins and Jesus was the only one.
My submission to the Father may not be on par with that of Jesus. But His submission gives me an example and encouragement.
"Lord, I surrender all."

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
