*Grace to Partner more with Jesus*

_John 5: 19-21 (GNB), John 20:21 (GNB)_
_So Jesus answered them, "l tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. .. Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to. *Jesus said to them again, "Peace be wrth you. As the Father sent me, so I send you."_

When Jesus was on earth, He was very close and intimate with the Father and He passionately carried out the will of the Father and reflected the nature of the Father. In John 5:17 (NLT) Jesus said,"...My Father is always working, and so am l." ln the Living Bible, this same verse says,"... My Father constantly does good, and I'm following his example." Now that Jesus has sent us into the world just as the Father sent Him, we must follow His example and do only what He will do in every situation we find ourselves. 2 Corinthians 6:1 says, we are workers together with Him. It is His Life that we are living now. We are His Body right now and He is our Head. We must also ask ourselves, “What will Jesus think, what will Jesus say and what will Jesus do”?

When Jesus was on this earth, He said He was the light of the world. Now He is not on the earth but He is in you by His Spirit. You are now the light of the world. He has sent you to represent Him. That is why He has filled you with His Spirit, Acts 1:8. By the Spirit, we can do exploits just like Jesus did, Acts 10:38. It is your responsibility to reflect the life and the light of Jesus. Just as Jesus did the will of the Father and the Father manifested His power in Jesus' life, as you keep doing the will of Jesus, Jesus will manifest His power in your life. You will experience God's abundance in your own life just like Jesus did. As we partner more with Jesus, more of God's will, will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
