Our Lord Learned Obedience

How often are you obedient to even the small things in life?  When was the last time you require your children to be obedient?  Jesus was obedient to His Father in such a way as to have been sinless and to have obeyed to the end.   

Matthew 26:39   And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt”

We are required to be obedient to Jesus Christ our Lord.  In the scriptures, He says,

John 14:15 “if you Love me you will keep my commandments”. 

In your obedience to the Father you should do what is asked of you.  Pray continually.  That is a command of us.  Do you not know that the Lord would have you to give him your cares of this world?  He is asking to protect you from the evil things of this world.  In your obedience you should do as He asks.  There should be no worries in your life and if there are you shouldn’t have them for long.

For those who are parents, do you not want your child to obey you?  When you tell your child not to do this or that, do they not obey, or, do you let them just run amuck?  

Proverbs 22:6, 23:13   “train up a child in the way he should go and when his is old, he will not depart from it”…… “withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die”….

In teaching us obedience the Lord chastises those He loves.   Just as the Lord learned obedience we should learn obedience and teach our children the same.

Luke 11:28

But he said, “Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it”.

 I have learned over the course of time that it is so much easier to do the right thing and being obedient has now become a part of me.  As an elder I am required to relay the message of our Lord.  In that, obedience is certainly on my agenda.  Without obedience you cannot please God.  Does that make sense?  Makes a lot of sense to me. 

 To have that sense of peace and joy, just obey God and leave everything else to him!
