God sent Jesus to come and redeem from
the sons of men, sons for Himself to become part of His Kingdom. We
read in John 1:12 “But
as many as received Him(Jesus), to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to
those who believe in His name.” Jesus, the Son of God came to show
us the way, to show us how to be sons of God. He was the PERFECT
EXAMPLE. He came to show us that YOU CAN OVERCOME SIN IN THE FLESH,
YOU CAN OBEY GOD IN THIS SINFUL FLESH and therefore He took on the
same form as we are, He came as a man, flesh and blood to show us the
way.
We
read in Romans 8:29”For whom He foreknew, He also predestined TO
BECOME CONFORMED
TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, so that He would be the firstborn among many
brethren;” He has called us to be conformed to the image of His
Son. We are not to be followers of other men. Jesus is the
forerunner, Jesus is the example, the blueprint that we must follow
if we want to be children of God. We must obey Him, His words. Jesus
came and delivered to us the WORDS OF THE FATHER and He Himself
obeyed those very same words so that we will have no excuse if we do
not follow Him and obey those same words that He delivered, and that
He lived by. He became totally obedient to the Father and in the same
way we must become obedient to the Father.
We
read in Hebrews 2:18 “For since He Himself was tempted in that
which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are
tempted.” Jesus understands the temptations that we go through
because He went through exactly the same temptations. He came as man
in flesh and blood and He showed us the way. He proved to us that it
is possible to obey God, to be sons of God in this wicked world
amongst a wicked generation.
Jesus
is the perfect example. We must not look at other men. Do not take
another person, another man for your example. Jesus is our Teacher,
He is our Lord, He is our Master and He sent us His Holy Spirit who
will guide us every step of the way. We just need to tune in and
LISTEN and OBEY and He will guide us into perfection. It is possible
to be a son of God, to be perfectly obedient to God.
May
Jesus bless you.
