We all know what jesus accomplished ... what i would like to know is how he did it. ???????????????

Steve,

I'm not sure that "We all know what Jesus accomplished." I think that lots of people have written lots of books on just that topic over the past 2,000 years. But to mention just a few that come to mind from Colossians:

"we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins"

"by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him"

"having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself"

"you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses"

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross"

"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it"

Just to site a few.

But what do you mean by, "how He did it?"

Can you be more specific what you're looking for?

All things have an order ,,, or a pattern especially in the word of God.. Even Jesus had to follow a pattern .. for he never did anything outside of the will of his father ... he always did those things that pleased his father never usurping his Authority..He would not have been able do those things he did if he had chosen to do his own will . Even in the Garden when it came time to fulfill the will of his father , he said NOT MY WILL BUT THY WILL BE DONE. He is the Cheif cornerstone of the temple , whitch temple we are , for his spirit abides in us .

Naturally, as God in the flesh, He did the will of His Father. Not to do so would be incongruous; that is, it would be God contradicting Himself. One cannot separate the Person from the total nature of The Godhead.

The Father is fully God, but is not The Son or The Spirit.

The Son is fully God, but is not The Father or The Spirit.

The Spirit is fully God, but is not The Father or The Son.

So your question to clarify still stands:

"i would like to know is how he did it."

What do you mean by that?

My Dear Bro..... let me ask you ,,, How do you believe he did it.... we know that He never relied on any thing or anyone but his Father . Everything he did he did in accordance with and by his fathers will... He even had to submit to his Natural Parents to fulfill all righteousness . He had to be baptized By John to fulfill all righteousness. this was part of the pattern .

Baptism by Water, Baptism of the spirit and Baptism of fire... What was it he had to suffer ,
