As I was reading John 19 today, I was very impressed with how purposeful Jesus's words and actions were towards precisely accomplishing God's Will. He was so intent on obeying every last command so that each and every prophecy would be fulfilled. As He was hanging on the cross, almost entirely spent, He said that He was thirsty so that the prophecies would be completely fulfilled. That is so amazing because it is just another example of how Jesus was who He said He was, and His purpose was not of Himself but from the Father.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for Christ's perfect example of complete obedience to redeem and extend righteousness to all mankind. Lord, may I have deliberate determination as I seek to obey you completely, even down to the smallest detail. May I honor you by being purposefully proactive about living faithfully. I pray in Jesus's name. Amen.
