‏ Psalms 110:7

The Humble Man

Christ drank refreshing water “from the brook by the wayside” (cf. 1Chr 11:17; Jdg 7:6). He gratefully enjoyed all the refreshment the Father gave Him during His path of humiliation – of which the brook speaks – on earth. It shows His complete dependence on His Father.

He drinks from the brook when He speaks to a poor Samaritan woman. It is a great refreshment to Him that He can make Himself known to her as the Savior of the world. Mary also refreshed His soul by her understanding of His suffering and death, which she expressed by anointing Him (Jn 12:3). A similar refreshment the Savior experienced from Mary Magdalene.

The consequence (“therefore”) of His utter dependence on His Father is that He went His way with His head lifted up. There is a complete interaction between Him and His Father. He lives by what the Father gives Him and therefore He always lifts up His head to His Father. In His way as Man on earth from the beginning to the end there is complete fellowship between Him and His Father.
