"And what do I find, then, as I look at Christ? We considered absolute surrender to God. That was the very root of Christ's life. He came as a man whom God had sent into the world, and as a man who had nothing to do but fulfill the will of God; and He came as a man who had nothing in Himself but who every day depended upon God and waited for God to teach Him, and to speak words through Him, and to show Him the works He had to do. "The Son can do nothing of Himself." He lived a life of absolute surrender to God. God's will, God's honor, God's kingdom - He lived and He died for them, and He did it, not under strain at certain times, throwing it off at other times to seek relaxation in something of the world and forgetting to hold communion with God, as many Christians do. Religion to them is a strain and a burden and a duty and it is so delightful just to relax a little and throw off the strain.
Ah, no! God was Christ's joy, and the Fountain of living waters to Him, and it was His delight and His strength to live in God and for God. The will of God was His meat and refreshment and strength.And God comes to all who say, 'My God, I have given the vow of absolute surrender; Thou knowest that though it was done in feebleness and in trembling, it was done in honesty and in uprightness. But, my God, what does it mean? How am I to live that life?' The Father points to the beloved Son, and He says, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him, follow Him, live like Him. Let Christ be the law of your life.' " - - Andrew Murray (Absolute Surrender)
