Ron: Really? Jesus learned obedience?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Well, when the writer of Hebrews 5 in the Bible said that Jesus “learned obedience through what he suffered,” he wasn’t suggesting that Jesus had been disobedient. He’s suggesting that an obedient Jesus demonstrated a deeper understanding of the value of obedience through practicing it when he was tempted.
You know, it seems to me that marriage and family relationships allow us the chance to practice obedience even when we’re tempted not to. We can choose to forgive when hurt; be self-controlled when disappointed; be patient and gentle when worried; and love even when taken for granted and in practicing obedience we mature in Christ. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
