Jesus was justified by God yet he was crucified for being the Christ. How many times did he tell people who he was? Did he have to tell people who he was? Often times he was asked a question that many already knew the answer to that needed no answer. How did they know he was the Christ? He had the fruit to prove it,he cosistently walked according to the spirit and did not fulfill the lust of the flesh as some of us christians oftentimes do. He answered to the authority that God placed on earth he was not answering the question itself for he needed not to answer to anyone who he was. God had justified him from the beginning and therefore we also ought to follow the same confidence that Jesus had knowing that he answered only to his God and that no man could add to or take away the authority that Christ had on the earth. Although; he answered to God he had to obey the laws of the land but it did not make him any less who he was in fact it just proved once again how his humility and obedience gave him more power on this earth. Whenever he was faced by his accusers they could never prove anything against him. It was his unselfishness and obedience to the Word of God that made him blameless before God, that in itself justified him before the world, the only thing they could accuse him of was his claim to be the Christ and they had evidence that he was him but yet they chose not to believe it. Just as Jesus was justified by God so we are also justified by God it is up to us to walk in the favor of the Lord and let God prove us before men and then we will have the testimony that Jesus had.When the son of man was glorified then was he justified. As we walk this walk we will have to prove to be blameless before God so that we can be made just before the world. Jesus as always was the perfect example for us to follow for he continued in the spirit always. There will come times in our walk when we will be asked the question who are you to? Our life should be justified with the suffering of Christ.We should be justified the same way that Jesus was.
