Christ Was Singularly Focused

I can't say I have a singular focus in my life. I'm currently reading 4 books (I rarely finish any of them). When I watch TV I usually have 2 programs going. I'm supposed to be studying Greek right now and the thought popped into my head to write this blog entry. I'm easily distracted and many times, I'm all over the place.

Christ, however, had a singular focus. He was absolutely focused, like a laser, on a set of ideals.
 John 4:34 “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish His work.”
 John 5:30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will but the will of Him who sent me.”
 John 6:38 “For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me but raise it up on the last day.”
 Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

The way of Christ was focus on the propositional truths of God and the mission for which he was sent, imbedded in that proposition (Isaiah 53). Christ was obedient to His Father in his lifestyle and His mission. In other words, He always did what was right passively (the way he thought, especially the way he thought about God) and actively (when he preached and was crucified). Christ was fed by doing what God had commissioned Him to do. He had surrendered His will in submission to His Father. He was firmly under the authority of His Father in the greatest act of humility. Fear of man did not dominate Him but rather the will of His Father was all that He could think about and all that He could do. Obedience to His Father propelled Him.
