DAY 4 ~ A Life Surrendered
“I have not come to do my own will but that of the Father,” John 6:38
Jesus lived a life of humility before the Father. He knew He could do nothing of Himself (John 5:19). “I can of my own self do nothing...I seek not my own will,” (John 5:20), Jesus said, “I do not receive glory from men” (John 5:41). He said “I do nothing of myself” (John 8:28). “I seek not my own glory” (John 8:50). “The words that I speak are not from myself” (John 14:10).

Jesus emptied Himself of His prerogatives as eternal Deity and became a servant so that God might be all. His life was one of absolute submission, trust and dependence on the Father. In the end, Jesus lost nothing by giving everything to God. He humbled Himself, and God exalted Him. Jesus’ humility was surrendering Himself entirely to God. He allowed the Father to do in Him and with Him what He pleased.
