The surrendered lifestyle of Christ.( click for detail information.)

The life of voluntary surrenderedness of Jesus.

John  10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  10:18 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.

. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ lived exemplary lifestyle during His earthly ministry. 

John  17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

He was committed to doing His Father’s will in all things and at all times. 

John  4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John  6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John  8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.  8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John  9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

John  12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.  12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Luke  22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,  22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

John  14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John  10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  10:18 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.

He has left you example to follow His steps and learn of Him. 

1 Peter  2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Matthew  11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

The good Lord shall help you to do likewise in Jesus name. 

Let us pray.
