Part IV. Trochlear nerve

He had the same basic needs as everyone else - food, shelter, clothing. We don't know how much stuff (things, or wealth) He had to start out with, but we do know what He did with what He had. While He had his human free will, He decided to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and He did only what His Father wanted. I guess He faced many temptations in life. So don't think you're alone! Think about your own life, in 1 day, how easy is it to fall or succumb to temptation? How easy is it for us to focus on things other than obeying what God is immediately saying to us? Think: if we're not focussed on God anymore, we won't carry out His will for our lives, because we won't hear His voice saying, "this is the way, walk in it". Yet Jesus lived every moment of his life thinking of God and obeying Him. He was tempted in every way, but He never sinned.
The devil comes only to kill, to steal, and to destroy, but Jesus comes so that we may have life, and life to the full. He probably went through a lot of exams as a Jewish student as well, so he went through every bit of stress we feel as students. So why not ask Him how He did it?

This probably should have been posted 3 days ago...but I went out that night with 2 friends, had dinner, played Wii, had a very interesting conversation, etc. Flashback time: I was busy with involvements and activities around the 4th week of this sem, and at 11am on Monday, there was my MCQ test to start off the week. You know what I really love telling people? That despite all the hustle and bustle of life, your result comes out well and good. I got 9/10 and 5/6.2
Back to the present: You know what I love even more? Telling people that it's really God doing His good work in and through me. How, and why does He do this? Well, when Jesus came as human, He began His countdown to your redemption and mine. His goal was the cross, because only His pure blood could cleanse the rebellion of humanity from a life sentence in hell. Think of the corollary: if Jesus walked out of God's will for His life, His blood would not be precious anymore. Just in case you think this could not happen, well, it actually could. It's all too easy to remember that Jesus is 100% God; but He's 100% man too!He had the same basic needs as everyone else - food, shelter, clothing.
