Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19)
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.” (John 6:38)
To me, these are among the most amazing statements that Jesus ever made. His perfect submission to his Father is mind boggling, because I am so aware of how my will drives me, and how difficult it is for me to put it aside. Seeking to be conformed to the image of Christ is this area alone is enough to occupy the rest of my life.
