Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Have you ever thought how weak and helpless Jesus was of Himself when
He was with us in the flesh? Did you know that He did not work even one
miracle “of Himself”? He said, “I can of Myself do nothing.” When He
made decisions, He could not make them of any wisdom inherent in
Himself, because when He left heaven to come down and become one of us,
He laid aside all the prerogatives of His divinity. “As I hear, I
judge,” He adds. What He said or taught, He had first to learn. In
other words, He did not bring with Him within Himself any wisdom from
heaven. His mother Mary had to teach Him to read the Old Testament, but
He was different from our children--from the beginning, He loved it. He
was agape in the flesh.

Jesus took all our weaknesses upon Himself, “in all points made like
His brethren,” not unlike them! The flesh or nature which He “took” was
“like,” not unlike, ours. “Morning by morning” He was awakened by His
Father, to learn in prayer and study of the Word (Isa. 50:4, 5). In
those prayer and study sessions as a Youth He gained an education that
qualified Him to be better than a “Ph.D.” He said, “The Lord God has
given me the tongue of the learned.” He spoke so beautifully, so
clearly, powerfully, succinctly, that people marveled, “How does this
Man know letters, having never studied” [that is, in a college or
university]? (John 7:15). Jesus took no credit to Himself; He gave all
the glory to His Father: “My doctrine [My teaching. My speaking] is not
Mine, but His who sent Me” (vs. 16). But that does not mean that He
brought that wisdom with Him from heaven: He learned it in those
“morning by morning” educational tete-a-tetes with His Father! And all
that super-Ph.D. Wisdom is yours for just the hunger to acquire it--!
