John 5:19
Then Jesus answered and
said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself,
but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like
manner.”
The secret of our LORD’s
holy speech was that He habitually submitted is intelligence to His Father.
Whenever problems pressed on the human side, as they did in the temptation, our
LORD had within Himself the divine remembrance that every problem had been
solved in counsel with His Father before He became incarnate and that therefore
the one thing for Him to do was to do the will of the Father and to do it in
His Father’s way. Satan tried to hasten Him, tried to make Him face the
problems as a Man and do God’s will in His own way… We have to keep in the
light that God is in, not in the rays of the light of our experience…. We have
to be specialists in devotion to Jesus Christ and in nothing else…
