Jesus during His first advent constantly made reference to His Father and the need for Him to do the Father’s Will, but what did He mean? During His ministry, Jesus accomplishes many well-noted miracles and acts of righteousness, but what exactly is the will of the father?

The will of the Father is that we believe in His only begotten Son and what He taught. In addition, it is the Father’s Will that we obey the teachings of Jesus, internalize His teaching, and share them with all who will receive them as outlined in Mark 16:15.

Since Jesus said in Matthew 7:21, “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven“, I think it’s super important to drill down into what is meant in detail by the term, “Will Of My Father”

When we think about the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ it would be easy to understand the reaction of the centurion soldier recorded in Matthew 27:54, “Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God”. There was so much validation around the ministry of Jesus that one would be hard press to refute His claims. One such occurrence happened on the “Mount Of Olives” when Jesus was transfigured before Peter James and John.

Matthew records this event in the 17th chapter, and in the 5th verse, and it reads, “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him”. Again, the Father wants us to believe the Son and His message that the Kingdom Of God is at hand, He’s urging repentance. The Father is pointing at the Son and telling the world to follow Him. Acts 4:12 also makes this point when it says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”.

If you ever follow the life and ministry of Jesus one of the things that you will notice about Him is how on task He stayed. He always seemed to be in tune with what the Father wanted Him to do at any given time, it is a wonderful example to see. The Father points us to Jesus because belief in Jesus is His salvation plan for man. A person can not be reconciled back to a right relationship with God, the Father without faith in what Jesus accomplished at the cross. So yes, It’s the Father’s will that we follow Him.

In John 3:16 this very familiar scripture tells us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. God doesn’t want anyone perishing this is why He provides a way of escape for anyone who wants it. If we go all the way back to the garden of Eden from the very beginning, at the fall of man God provided a solution for sin. When Adam and Eve sinned and were found naked God provide them with animal skins to cover themselves, not just themselves, but also their sins as well.

In Egypt when God sent the death angel to kill all of the firstborn of the Egyptians, the children of Israel were spared because they were covered by the blood God instructed them to place on their door post. Throughout the entire Old Testament, we see the children of Israel making sacrifice after sacrifice to God for their sins. All of these acts were pointing to the ultimate sacrifice, the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus came to the earth He came with a purpose. He wasn’t just born like any other person that comes into the world. Jesus was sent here to redeem mankind for the fall of Adam and Eve.

This is why not just any religion can reconcile mankind to God. When Adam and Eve sinned and covered themselves with fig leaves that represented other religions as well as man’s attempt to restore himself. When God rejected their solution and killed an animal He gave them skins that were sufficient to cover their sins. We know that Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. Although God’s judgment must be satisfied when sin is committed the best part is He Himself has provided us with a remedy, Glory To God!
