They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father. So Jesus said to them, ” When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” As he was saying these things, many believed in him. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, (John 8:27-31, ESV)
Jesus said nothing that God the Father did not tell Him to say.
Jesus did not do anything that God the Father did not tell Him to do.
The way we can be His disciple is to do what He tells us to do. We must abide, dwell, reside in His word and do what He leads us to do.
We can do nothing on our own and abide in Him. He is our life and the source of all things.
So live the life He has called you into and abide in Him.
