Pastor-Teacher Spiritual Gifts Part 61: The essence of son-ship is obedience.A large segment of the church today has a problem with authority orientation. Biblical adoption is that grand design of God by which He confers or bestows upon us the status or the standing of adult sons and daughters. A large segment of the church today has a problem with authority orientation.
Gal 4:6 In both passages we also have the same Greek verb, krazo, which is "to cry out“.
Mat 27:50 As Christ suffered and entered into His glory (1Pet 1:11), so fellow heirs with Christ are called to suffer during this present time (1Pe 2:21, Phi 1:29) as we prepare to join Christ in glory.
1Pe 2:21 Consider the sufferings that Christ endured as He went about on a daily basis submitting to His Father’s will for His life.
Luk 9:22
Luk 9:23
“learned” is the aorist active indicative of
“obedience” is the Greek noun He came to understand through experience what it meant for a human being to constantly be obedient to the Father’s will, and that it meant dying daily. He experienced all our grief, all our sorrows, all our disappointments, all our sadness, and out of that in His humanity He learned things. That is why today He is the perfect, most wonderful, High Priest who constantly pleads our cause before the Father, Heb 7:25. He experienced just how difficult it is at times for human beings to submit to the will of the Father. Son by nature (deity) though He was, He learned from the things He suffered—obedience!"
Christ had been THE SON of God for all eternity. Only a human being who has suffered in the same way can truly understand what the other person is experiencing. Jesus learned...experienced... what it was like to need something, to lack something, and to rely on God to come through for Him. In the Garden Jesus used the sweetest name Abba to express to His Father the grief He had at the thought of being separated from Him, Mar 14:36 This is the only place that the Scripture records our Lord using this intimate name - Abba - for His Father. The Aramaic word Abba occurs three times, just 3, in the Bible, and one is here. The only other two both deal with our adoption! The cup was the wrath of His Father removing His presence from Jesus as He bore the sins of the world. |
