John 6:38
King James Version
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
JESUS was the epitome of PERFECT obedience.
An example the world needed to follow.
We are all carnal, sold unto sin, full of infirmities.
JESUS was sent to save us from eternal fire, and death.
He truly is a revolutionary priest, for these words He spoke:
John 6:39-40
King James Version
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.

Hear, O Israel;

with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:31
King James Version
31 And the second is like,
namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.

hang all the law and the prophets.

should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
John 6:32-33

32 Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,

which cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world.
John 6:35

I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 8:10-11
King James Version
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself,
and saw none but the woman,
he said unto her,
Woman,
where are those thine accusers?
hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said,
No man, Lord.
And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee:
go,
and sin no more.

Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.

but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door:
by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.
John 10:17-18
King James Version
17 Therefore doth my Father love me,
because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again.
This commandment have I received of my Father.

That ye love one another;

that ye also love one another.

I am the way,
the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.

5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me,
and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
Matthew 18:1-7
King James Version
18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him,
and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive
one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones
which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences!
for it must needs be that offences come;
but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Revelation 1:17-18
King James Version
17 And when I saw him,
I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me,
saying unto me,
Fear not;
I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth,
and was dead;
and,
behold,
I am alive for evermore,
Amen;
and have the keys of hell and of death.
Prophet Isaiah also spoke of this high priest, defying normal descriptions of how high priests are:
Isaiah 53:1-2
King James Version
53 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Can you imagine how the world was turned upside down, when JESUS showed up?
Offering salvation, and direct access to GOD.
Thus, the CROSS.
Isaiah 53:3-8
King James Version
3 He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God,
and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
"That Scripture might be fulfilled."
With one blow, one sacrifice, the LORD JESUS defeated the devil.
Hebrews 2:14
King James Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
His priesthood, is the very thing we need.
The next post will tell us more about JESUS, the HIGH PRIEST.
