But as many as received him [Jesus], to them gave he power to become the sons [or daughters] of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:12,13). 11Jesus was not pleasing Himself when He took the sins of a lost world upon Himself. Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses (Matthew 8:17). You will not be able to please yourself either as you separate from the world and go forth to tell others about Jesus and His saving grace. You always have to keep self out of the way and stay humble before God so you can show Jesus and not yourself to people. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
