Most Christians don’t understand the relationship
between Jesus and God the Father. Jesus was God and man at the same
time. He did not come to earth as a “free agent,” but as a
representative for God the Father and limited Himself in a human
body. If you think about it, Jesus could never have been tempted by
the Devil if He had been fully God. Instead, we find that He limited
His power, glory and knowledge and that is why the apostle John in
Revelation chapter one did not recognize the glorified Jesus in
heaven. Jesus repeatedly stated that He only did the things
on earth that He had seen God the Father do. At the same time, He
bore witness of the Father and stated that they were one. As a
result, Jesus had a constant running battle with the Jewish
leadership. He could have avoided confrontation, but Jesus made the
choice to reveal His working relationship with the Father, which has
become a blessing to Christians throughout the ages. The Son of God
submitted Himself to the Father and the followers of Jesus should do
likewise, which deepens our relationship with God the Father. |
