Finish what you started Part I
Now, this is not wallowing in self-pity on my part, I just wanted to set the stage for demonstrate the extraordinary saving power of Jesus-Christ through love, mercy and grace He has for anyone who knows he or she is soul-sick, lost, hopeless and helpless with no way out and no one to turn to, but in a last act of desperation turns to the God that unbeknownst to him/her was faithfully and patiently waiting for the child to acknowledge his/her lost condition and come home to his real, loving Heavenly Father.
The Lord completed the mission His Father entrusted Him obeying Him even though He knew what agony and torture He would have to bear on our behalf. In John 10:17, Jesus declares: The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”…
If
the Lord obeyed His Father in all things, should we not do our best to
obey Him if he commands us to perform a servant´s duty that he has
made us adequate to fulfill, gifting and empowering us to do. After
all, the Word says that we are His disciples if we keep His
teachings. To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you
hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John
8:31,32.
