Jesus Trusted His Father
Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. (John 15:9)
In Hebrews, it seems to be indicated that the Lord Jesus is trusting God at this very hour.
For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, “I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE.” And again, “I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.” (Hebrews 2:11-13a)
His trust in the Father is communicated to us through His presence with us, and in us. Jesus is with us, and in us, by the Holy Spirit. Amazing. The trust in God we experience is an impartation of the Messiah’s trust in Him in, and through, our hearts.
Our trust in God is fellowship with Jesus.
Trust in God is a necessary ingredient of our emotional health. The more trust, the better. If things fall apart after having trusted God, the faithful, faith-filled, believer resorts to God for replenished strength and renews his trust in the God that any onlooker might say failed that trusting-person.
We revert to Romans 8:29-29. All things are working together for our good because we love God and are called according to His purpose. Even the worst things in life can be turned to gold if we trust in God because, through our trust based relationship, we are being transformed into the image of God’s Son.
Let’s talk about impossible circumstances… Look how Abraham negotiated the impossible demand to sacrifice Isaac.
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; it was he to whom it was said, “IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.” He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type. (Hebrews 11:17-19)
This is how Jesus trusted the Father.
For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. (1 Peter 2:21-24)
Jesus entrusted Himself to the one who judges righteously. Amazing. Through your trust in the God who loves you, just like He loves Jesus, you can entrust yourself to God, too.
Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. (John 15:9)
As with Jesus, there is a resurrection awaiting all who trust in the Son of God. He loves you in the same way His Father loved Him. He has the power to bring all things to completion.
Trust.
Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right. (1 Peter 4:19)
