Him and are mingled in Him to become one composition. Hence, He is the God-man.
THE GOD-MAN LIVING
Let us now go on to consider the Man-Savior's God-man living. This is the living of a genuine man, but not by man's life—man's mind, will, and emotion—to express man in man's virtues.
Two verses from the Gospel of John are help ful in understanding this. In John 5:30 the Lord Jesus says, "I can do nothing from Myself; as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." In John 6:38 He goes on to say, "I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." In these verses we see that the Lord Jesus did not do or seek His own will.
In a very real sense, our will represents our whole being. Yes, in one sense our being is repre sented by our mind. The mind, however, represents our being only in thought; the will represents our being, or our soul, in its doings. You may have thought about many things, but how many of those things have you done? Perhaps out of a hundred matters we have thought, only two have been accomplished.
