| Christ’s Obedience |
| The Lord Jesus was the perfect, dependent, obedient man. “For even Christ pleased not Himself” (Romans 15:3). |
| Here are three aspects of His obedience that are good to consider as we remember Him today: |
| Coming into the world, the Lord had before Him the will of God, for He could say, “Then said He, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:9). |
| Passing through the world, He could say, “I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me” (John 5:30). “For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me” (John 6:38). “For I do always those things that please Him” (John 8:29). |
| Furthermore, in going out of the world He said, “Nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). |
| The perfect Man, the Son of God, |
| He always did the Father’s will, |
| While here on earth the path He trod, |
| From Bethlehem to Calvary’s hill. |
