LEARNING FROM LIFE

“Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.” Hebrews 5:8

Learning to follow Jesus is a lifestyle that one chooses to follow. It is not an easy journey as was demonstrated by our Lord Jesus when he walked this earth. But Jesus, as he grew up had to also learn obedience. He learned obedience to his Father in heaven through all that he had to go through. He knew his Father’s plans, and he also knew he had been given a free will. He had the opportunity to walk away from the sufferings and death that had been planned for him; however, he made a choice to follow his Father’s plan and help to save you and me. He was obedient to his Father in heaven and not to the world that surrounded him. We are no different. We all suffer in one manner or another. It is through these times of trouble that we can learn our obedience to God in heaven. As we follow Jesus, we are to trust God through it all. We are to let him handle things that are too big for us to take on. Learning obedience to our God is ongoing. It never ends. Trials and temptations continue to plague us, and we must continue to learn and build our faith and trust in him. Jesus has walked in our shoes and is more than willing to guide us and help us through. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
