HOW WAS ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE?

 HOW WAS ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE? (PART 1) John 10:11-20.

Dying has never been an easy thing for any man to go through. But, for any man to delight in dying there must be a driving force on his inside. A look into the life and ministry of Jesus reveals so many challenges as well as gets one pondering how Christ could choose to die willingly for unworthy man. There was a fire on the inside of Him which is commonly referred to as “PASSION.”  This passion was so strong in Him that nothing else mattered but His declaration: “I come in the volume that is written concerning me; to do thy will oh God!” He was so passionate that He constantly looked forward to the day His Father would lift Him up as the Son of man, though He knew that this in anyway was not going to be a delightsome experience. We could practically see all of these when He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane “…not my will but thy will be done.” Lk. 22:42.

Passion was what propelled Christ in fulfilling His purpose with such unequaled strength and vigor. This passion kept Him glued to His purpose. The spiritual definition of Passion is the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ at crucifixion. Having a vision is good but you must hold tenaciously to that vision and that is where Passion comes to play. Christ was so passionate that He was so conscious of the appointed hour. John 2:3-4, John 18:4 “Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?”

Reflection: You have read the account of Jesus often times; how much impact has this made in your life?
