Mindset

Matthew 3:13 - 15

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.


As I was reading through this passage this morning I was stopped by the concrete mindset of Jesus, and the driving force behind everything He did here on earth.

Fulfillment. Fulfillment of the Father's will.

The question that I kept thinking about was - Do I have the same mindset? How easy is it for me to get off of that track and attempt to do my own thing?

Notice how although John observed what was happening, and tried to deter him, Jesus was focused, He knew what had to be done, but not only did He know - He carried it out.

It's pretty awesome. He's pretty awesome.

Crack open that bible today and see how the Lord speaks to you this morning.

See you soon

- Ben
