The Perfect Man was a man wholly dependent on God. We can look to Him as our great example. <br />Dependence is nothing but the expression of humility. -Trough humility we receive the grace to depend on God-. The Lord Jesus was the only one person that could be totally independent, but in order to provide for our salvation and show us the way God intended for us to live, He had to live as a perfect man, dependent, in submission to the Father's will. That's a daily dying to self. <br />Meekness is regarded as one of the highest treasures in our Father's eyes. Jesus was the example, and we can follow only by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.Patricianoreply@blogger.com
