Yoda once said to Luke Skywalker that there is no trying to do something. We either do it, or we do not. We either commit to doing something or we are not committed to it.
This week we look at the death of our savior, the death of a man who has committed no sin, innocent of all charges. The death of our savior, that brings us life. We obtain life from the fact that Jesus was committed to the task before him. He went to the cross with out waiving from this task, even in the questioning he had, that the cup be removed, yet not my will but yours be done Father.
What if you had been Jesus and were trying to be the savior of the world? Would you have been unwavering? Would you have followed through on the will of the Father?
I can say I would have questioned more than Jesus did. I would have fallen short. My humanness would have gotten in the way. That is where Jesus and I differ. I can try to follow him, but in the words of Yoda, I can not try, I either do it, or I do not.
I do both, in my humanness, I fail to follow in times of weakness, but Jesus never fails me. He is always with me and walks with me, and helps me on the way. As Philippians 4:13 says Whatever I have, whatever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
So we do not have to do or do not, Jesus does it for us, giving us the strength to be what he has called us to be. Rest in the strength that God has given us, and allow him to work in and through you. do not try to be anything other than what God has called you to be. Do what God has called you to do, trusting in Him who makes you who you are.
