Jesus was found to have been in the temple when just a young child. You see, He was studying the Word of God so that He could fulfill his purpose. He knew He was the Son of God, and needed to know what His Father’s Words were all about. Then He, led by the Holy Spirit, performed all the wonders and miracles that we read in the Gospels. He preached, taught, and healed. He chose to obey, and only did what He saw the Father doing. He paid a price. He didn’t follow the world. He didn’t do what others thought he should. He only followed the Father, even to the cross. There is a price to be paid for spiritual power. It is loving the Father enough to obey Him, and fasting and prayer. We see Jesus prayed all night on occasion, and even prayed until blood came from His pores. In all our lives are opportunities to obey, or not to obey, and these are the times you must pull your emotions in, and follow HIM by an act of your will. You will pay a price to follow Jesus, but ah, my friend, it is worth it!!!
