The Christian life is a life lived in cooperation with Jesus Christ. When we were kids we may have tried to get someone else to do our homework, but we cannot ask Jesus to do that which He commands us to do, for that is a nebulous, out of touch with reality, faith. Jesus can’t repent for us, we need to repent. Jesus won’t evangelize for us so that we can stay comfortable at home. Jesus won’t study the Word of God for us so that we can watch TV. Jesus won’t do the praying for us so we can sleep in. Cooperation with God is the royal privilege of the royal priesthood in Christ.
