Following Jesus
And He went down with them and came to Nazareth
and was habitually obedient to them;.."
Luke2:3 (Amp. Bible)
Yes today Jesus was already three days on this
planet earth. His dwelling for 33 years. How strange and wonderful
it is
to think He was really only human. A
small baby, so dependent of him Mommy and Daddy. By now he must have
had clothes
on, but feeding times, he suck the breasts
of Him Mother just like you and me did. He was so vulnerable.
So small and tiny and fragile.
Just look at the tiny toddler. Oh But
He was God Almighty's Son. The Only begotten Son. Praise the
Lord!!!, and the Hand of God was upon Him.
But to think about it. He was so dependent
on earthly parents. So much, just like us, and when He grew up we
read in this above Scripture that He was habitually obedient to them.
Wow, he must have been a lot, or must
I rather say that our sonWessel was a lot like Him. Wessel
never really deserved a spanking. He was just such a obedient son,
and we now see it in our grandson. It is so beautiful. When
Mama says. "Don't touch", he will go closely, and the tiny hand will
almost touch, but still he is totally obedient. It touches ones heart
to see that. I know it the nature of Jesus in them that causes
them to be just obedient children.
Oh what a wonderful Jesus. Since He was
so small He was perfect in all things. Oh praise His wonderful Name.
I am sure that is why He He places a big responsibility on us to be obedient.
He could be as a child and then as an upgrowing Child He also became obedient
to His Father in Heaven. To name a few Scriptures:
Romans 5:19: "so by one Man's obedience the
many will be constituted righteous"
11Corinthians 10:5 "and we lead every thought
and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the
Anointed One)"
Prayer.
"Wonderful Heavenly Father, will you help me
to be obedient to Your voice and to everything You expect from me. I love
you with my whole heart, and do not want to disappoint You ever,
my precious Father. I pray that in the matchless Name of Jesus Christ."
I love you so much
Susan.
