Jesus was so confident in Holy Spirit resident in Him He gave up all right to direct His way and humbled Himself to be obedient to the will of God for His life AND death. He knew that of Himself He could not initiate ANYTHING! Jesus also claimed that He would return as that very Holy Spirit but now by taking resident in those who trust Him to do so just as Mary His Mother trusted Holy Spirit to take resident in her to form the Christ. We trust not only that He rose but we too rose with Him to live in the newness of His living us. We now, like He then, can do nothing of ourselves but continue to trust Him. Trust Him to do what? There is the mistake we all take way too often. We want to shout at God, BE SPECIFIC! We want to not only know the road to take but to the foot the distance between each goal, and the method to get there. We want to control our moments and the ends of all our efforts!
Shame on us one and all for obeying this spirit of error for which Christ died to separate us. He destroyed the spirit of trying by replacing with His very self same Spirit of Trusting. "I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [ cut off from vital union with Me ] you can do nothing." (John 15:5, AMPC) |
