John 5:43
King James Version
43 I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive.
What do you think was one of the most important teachings of JESUS?
What was He consistent about?
What did He kept asking us to do?
I let the idea simmer in my heart last night.
And this morning, SPIRIT gave the defining verses.
Let JESUS tell us, Himself:
Luke 11:1-2
King James Version
11 And it came to pass, that,
as he was praying in a certain place,
when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him,
Lord, teach us to pray,
as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them,
When ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
as in heaven,
so in earth.
Luke 22:42-43
King James Version
42 Saying,
Father, if thou be willing,
remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
Luke 22:29-30

as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

he said,
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:
and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:26-27

JESUS was entirely devoted to GOD.
And He taught us that, consistently.
It's always been about the FATHER's will.
All that JESUS did, conformed to that.
All that He taught us, was to obey GOD's will.
Man continues in rebellion, defying that.
But GOD's will be done.
A true born again knows that.
And never challenges it.
That's how you know if you are GOD's own.
We are in complete obedience to GOD's will.
Just as the LORD JESUS taught us.
