Jesus was obedient to the Father. Read His story. When He was twelve years old He obeyed His earthly parents, at the same time knowing that He had to be busy with the things of His heavenly Father. When John the Baptist tried to stop Him from being baptized, He said He wanted to have baptism as a sign of obedience. How glorious it was when the Holy Spirit came down on Him and the Father spoke from heaven: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased" Matthew 3:17 RSV
"To obey is better than sacrifice . . . ." 1 Samuel 15:22 RSV
Holy Spirit, let me know whether there is any disobedience in my life. I want to do what You want.
