Jesus lived and served from a soul at one with the Father and an identity secure in His love. From this inner place He drew the strength to do mighty works (drama of the practical) and teach profound truths (drama of the theoretical), but more importantly He found the courage to endure outward failure, ridicule, and abandonment. The drama of the eternal, His inner communion with the Father, defined and determined the outward drama of His life. Unfortunately, too many of us in ministry have it the other way around.
