I gotta share this while it's fresh, because it's blowing my mind! Okay so maybe you already thought about this but I was reading this book on the Holy Spirit and it was talking about how Jesus was actually capable of sinning. Think about that. Okay, Hebrews 9:14 says, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God..." It was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept Him pure. And think about it...if Jesus wasn't able to sin would Satan have wasted his time trying tempt Jesus to sin?
Anyway, I always thought about it like, "Well Jesus is God...He can't sin." But He came down and limited Himself as a man. He lived His whole life knowing He was the our one shot. And if He sinned once it was over. So He gave Himself completely to the Holy Spirit (God) day in and day out every day. EVERY DAY...not once did He wake and say ''i'm just not feeling it today." Come on! Suddenly, it's not the cross that really impresses me as much as it is the way Jesus lived. Man, He must really love us!
Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit...how much more should we? "If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwells in you. (Rom 8:11) Not only did the Spirit raise Christ, He is also the One who will raise you!
