I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL
Text: Hebrews 10
7 March 2021
THE WILL OF GOD
To many, the Will of God is a mystery that is next to impossible to fathom. To the Lord Jesus Christ, the Will of God was something He desired to do with all His heart.
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ” Hebrews 10:5-7
