intended men to live. Was that His destiny; to come to you?
There’s no question that it’s true and He stopped at your heart.
He was determined to come to you. Nothing could stop Him
from coming to you.

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

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
