But He said, “The Father sent Me to save the world. God gave Me
an incarnate body through the Virgin Mary. I went as far as I could
go in that body. John 10:16, “And I have other sheep, which are not
of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice,
and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” He said, “My
journey is not finished.” John 17:20 again, “I do not ask in behalf
of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their
word.” John 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me,
and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”

Jesus said, “I’ve come as far as I can come in my incarnate body.
May I have your body, please?” It’s the same Jesus but He has a
new body and He’s still on the journey. His journey is to save
others. He came to me to reach them. He came to you to reach
them. This is the exchanged life. He’s still alive; it’s not you. He
lives in you. John 17:22, “And the glory which thou hast given Me
I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one. The
glory that You gave Me, to enable Me to live as a man, I now give
to them.” John 20:21, “Jesus therefore said to them again, ‘Peace
be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.’” John 6:57,
“As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so
he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.” John 14:12,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because
I go to the Father.”

When Jesus came to live as God intended man to live, He set aside
Who He was by nature as God, and He said, “I will never again grasp
that.” And the Father said, “I will live in You.” Our Lord Jesus set
aside Who He was by nature and depended on the Father to live
through Him. He has called us to set aside who we are by nature
and to be totally dependent on the One that lives in us. “As the
Father sent Me, I send you.” That’s the exchanged life. He still
lives but He now lives to continue His journey. Now that He has a
new body, by your permission, He can continue the journey.
