DO NOTHING YOURSELF

Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
John 5:19

Jesus, as a human being, professed no ability of His own when He said, ‘The Son can do nothing by himself.’ He also went on to say that He had no agenda of His own, ‘he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does’ (John 5:19).

The only agenda
He had was the agenda His Father prepared for
Him. Right through Jesus’ life this was the constant criteria for everything He did and everything He said. Jesus obeyed the Father and lived in complete dependence on Him.

When Paul says that we are to have the mind of Christ in
Philippians 2:5, he is speaking of this same dependency on God
and obedience to God. It’s not a passive dependency where we
do nothing, but an active obedience that derives from a dynamic sense of dependence upon the living, active life of Christ within us.

After all, he said to his disciples, ‘… apart from me you can do
nothing’ (John 15:5). It is a daily disposition of dependence and
obedience, no matter what.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I depend entirely on You. Have Your way in me.
