Discipleship: The Character of Jesus: Submissive & Obedient

Pastor Edwards teaches on the character of the believer and specifically looks at the example of Jesus.

Jesus's submission to God's will.

John 6:38

Matthew 26:39

 

Obedience is rooted involve.

John 14:31

 

The call to reflect Jesus' character.

Philippians 2:5-8

So, how can we begin to cultivate a heart like Jesus'? Here are a few practical steps:

1. Spend Time in God’s Presence – The more time we spend with God, the more we align our desires with His.
2. Seek God’s Will First – In every situation, big or small, make it a habit to pray, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.'
3. Be Willing to Let Go of Your Own Agenda – Recognize that God’s plan is better, even if it’s different from what we envisioned.
4. Trust God’s Goodness – Submission and obedience require us to believe that God’s plans are for our good, even if we can’t see the full picture yet.
