Jesus has come not to do his own will, but that of his Father. Unlike Adam, who walked with God but a short distance, and then did his own thing, learning to say 'I' not 'Thou', Jesus walked with God all the way.
Never once did Jesus rebel. He followed God's will in the Law and in the Spirit. He was the perfect sin offering to propitiate the righteous wrath of God.
And so must we too try to walk with God, though we are feeble, and we have no strength, and our faith is little bigger than a mustard seed at times. But we too, like Jesus, can call upon the strength of the Lord and make a small difference and give glory to God.
The world around us sees love as gratification, love's purpose the glorification of the self.
But we too, in our own small way, can do the will of God, by living a life of sacrifice not self, like Our Lord Jesus Christ, learning to say Thou Lord, not I.
