The Faith of Jesus

The Faith of Jesus
Some priest’s sermon

Recently I heard a phrase in a sermon that I had not pondered before. It referred to the “Faith of Jesus” I have always thought on Faith “in Jesus.” I keep forgetting how good a role model Jesus has been for us. All throughout the Gospels are recorded acts where Jesus is preaching of faith not in Him but of faith in the Father. I forget often that this is something that he experienced also. We see His faith being tested especially during the 40 days on the mountain at His meeting with Satan and with his comment, “Let this cup pass from me.” He expressed doubts or at least hesitations like we do. He had inner turmoil at times also like we do. Knowing that he understands our turmoils gives me comfort and strength as I face mine.
