Theology (Will of Christ)

Okay, class, today we are going to look at the Will of Jesus Christ. Now, if we were doing a deep, deep study, we could come up with many more "wills of Christ." However, we want to study enough to see difference between the stated will of God and the stated will of Jesus. I think this exercise might allow us to notice how the different wills interact.

Today, make statement of facts on the will of Jesus Christ as "specifically" revealed through His Word, and offer your reflections on the things you are learning at this point!

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Although this expresses man's will, the deeper association reflects the will of Christ)

Mark 14:27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. {offended: or, scandalized, or, shall stumble}

Luke 6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Looking forward to your sharings!
