“I can do nothing on my own.
Apparently yes, because He is the image of the invisible GOD and the Word of GOD. Where only the FATHER's will be done and not His, therefore the Son can do nothing on His own.
When he receive the commandment from the FATHER, He is likewise permitted, but humbly to exalt Himself truthfully. As an individual who is the Son equal to GOD HIS FATHER in Heaven, His ability, power, and coheir of all things.
One example, He claimed,
"I and the FATHER are one." He was shrewd enough to claim putting Himself first, and then the FATHER, cum, are one. Normally a true humble and servant character of this world would claim, "
My father and I are one, or my wife and I are one."
The Word, Lord of Heaven, laid aside His Majesty in Heaven and became a man like us. The reason is to take upon Himself our transgressions and iniquities, due judgement for eternal damnation and separation. Hence, lived and experienced humanly on our behalf the FATHER's curse, punishment and wrath which we wretched deserve and due to fall upon us assuredly.
Faced all the shame, ridicule, curse and humiliation, we wretched sinners cast upon Him, thinking He's smitten of GOD for His trespasses. Even though then He did not get even with us, but yet in pain and agony, until His last breath, pleaded to the FATHER. For HIM to show mercy on us and for our forgiveness, even claiming, we knew not what we do.
Mind you, the ministry of the Gospel proclaiming Grace and Truth was undertaken by the Word who became Jesus. Whilst, the Power of GOD the Holy Spirit was in Him to perform Kingdom signs and wonders for deliverance and so. But the weight, burden and consequences for the sins of the world, was laid upon Himself without help, even by the Holy Ghost.
Yet there were consoling of angels, saints, the Holy Ghost, and the FATHER, comforted Him. Since ahead, on His own power and human ability, is going to drink from the cup of suffering. Which no man, saints, angels, the Holy Ghost or the FATHER, able and can accomplish. Meaning, the Holy Ghost and the FATHER have their role and limitation on the matters of Salvation. Also on moreover what the Son on His own is going to achieve and accomplish for the dead to rise (In other words, dry bones becoming flesh).
That's why obviously the Glorious Son had to cry out as darkness covered over Him and the nation. Saying,
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"
Am not witnessing the scripture contextual truth about the Son on my own, but with the FATHER and Holy Ghost as witnesses. Merely serving you who believe, coherent and in union, bringing to your remembrance, stir up of memory, and edification.
2 Corinthians 10:
17. But he that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
You who limit the Son, got to learn than teach. least be haughty and wise in your own conceit, ridicule the Lord and His servants! Apparently, you're 'heart hardened' sticking to your out of context 'shortsighted' vision folly and twisted dogma. Which even the unbelievers have caught on too in ridicule, especially muslims, ridiculing as well.
Compared to the contextual truth that's afar and Glorious where only true born again can see and enter in faith.
Philippians 2:
5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6. Who being in the form of GOD, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD:
7. But made Himself of no reputation, and took on Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
Hello!
We're testifying about the Word and Lord of Heaven, in beginning He hast laid the foundation of the earth. And the Heavens are the works of His hands. His Throne as God, is for ever and ever, a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of His Kingdom. He hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity, therefore as God, even His FATHER GOD, hath anointed Him with the oil of gladness, above His fellows.
Again, this is the Majesty the Word and Lord laid aside and became man name, Jesus. Whilst, taking upon Himself the lowest position and from of life, dwelling among men. Set an example for all men, as a man how is it to be obedient to every word proceeded out of GOD, and serve only HIM, forsaking the flesh.
Taking our place as sinner instead, cried out to GOD, as GOD's Holiness, Righteousness and Justice pierced Him and not us. Yet, we 'mocked', 'scoffed', 'ridicule', 'insult', 'complain', 'murmur', 'grumble', 'waved our head and fist in disgust', 'advice', and even 'murdered' GOD in the end. (Isaiah 53)
Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ
