Be Like Jesus?

Be Like Jesus?

Jesus came to fulfill the law and to become the example of how humankind should think and act. Doing so, a soul becomes perfect just as scriptures state.

1John 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

(See Also; Luke 6:40, 2Co 7:1, 2Co 13:11, Php 3:12-15, Col 1:28, Col 4:12, James 1:4) For Be Ye Perfect.

Are we walking “even as he walked?”

*******************

John 5:19-20  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. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 

John 5:30-31  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 

(See Also; John 8:28, John 14:10)

Now Christ states he can do nothing from himself. The same applies to humankind as scriptures state.

********************

Christ himself admitted that there is only one good, God.

Mat 19:16-17  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 

Mark 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 

Jesus experienced life as a man and lived as a man experiencing life as a flesh soul.

This gets more interesting. Did Jesus Sin?

Mat 21:12  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,  (See Also; Mark 11:15, Luke 19:45-46, John 2:14-17)

Was Christ any different from humankind other then the fulfilling of the law, the salvation through our Lord on the cross, as well as teaching to His souls? His life on earth is to show by example and teach how humankind is to think and live.

********************

Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

(See Also; Mark 15:34) 

When we look at the Greek text for forsaken;

Foresaken; G1459 ἐγκαταλείπω From G1722 and G2641; to leave behind in some place, that is, (in a good sense) let remain over, or (in a bad one) to desert.

Jesus in the flesh thinking that his father is leaving him behind or being forsaken? Just as it is for humankind, it is the same for Christ. Think about it. It most likely rings a bell.

If Jesus had full knowledge, why would he think God had forsaken him? Let us assume for the moment that whatever “mind blockage” takes place in the birth of the flesh, an “interference” if you will, is obivous. Limited access to your created spiritual self where the Word was instilled in your spirit at creation.

********************

Luke 22:39-44  And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

An angel appeared unto Christ to strengthen him? Christ in agony? Prayed more earnestly? Why?

Interesting the “take away this cup from me” part of the verse. When we look at these next two verses to try to understand what Jesus is really saying.

Mark 10:38-40  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 

Mark 14:36  And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

What is Jesus saying in Mark and wanting removed by God……His baptism?

********************

Humankind is in the same realm of our Lord.

Mat 21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 

“Be thou removed” in the Greek;

G142 αἴρω A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin.

Expiate is to make amends or atone for a wrong you or someone else has committed.

The analogy is in the mountain being the amount of evil-sin that humankind seems to be an overwhelming negativity, but yet through the power of faith, no amount of evil-sin or to any degree of evil-sin can overcome goodness. Humankind has the power through Christ to overcome and remove all evils-sins by faith.
