“Jesus is both adient and obedient” the Holy Spirit uttered one peaceful night. Awestruck by how brilliant our Advocate is; in two simple yet profound words, He bragged about the awesomeness of Jesus. Moreover, that night, a bible passage was presented but I couldn’t remember specifically which book I was reading, or maybe it was purposely left hidden that I may seek His word and apply my faith. Whatever the case may be, I’m all for it. The word obedient is a familiar word, but what does the word adient mean and how it relates to Jesus?

Now, let’s take a look at the following verses and see how it connects to what the Holy Spirit has quickened on me.
John 5:19-20
“19So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing.””
John 6:38-39
38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.”

From the moment He accepted His mission until the fulfillment of it, “NOT MY WILL” was His relentless expression. In so doing, this statement proves true:
“What He sees, He replicates”.
How do we ought to live our temporary lives today?

Two familiar words birthed my language of receiving through dreams. I’m a Christian then, but the pursuit of intimacy was beyond my grasp and perception. Nevertheless, our gracious Lord gave me a vision of my calling but specifics remained unclear. While writing this story, I understood something about why God gave those two specific words (obedience, glory). By faith, I believe that God desires to deepen my understanding of whom Jesus is that I may know who I am. The obedience of Jesus is to the glory of the Father and my obedience to Jesus is all glory to Him too. As I saturate myself deep into His word (Bible) and as His Spirit within reveals understanding, I have learned a valuable lesson of sufficiency – JESUS IS SUFFICIENT. With my eyes fixed on Jesus alone, I will accept, depend and submit my will to God. That’s how Jesus did it. This is how I should do
