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.
