No human being feared God as much as Jesus did. This Jesus, upon whom the Spirit of Jehovah rested upon(
Isa.11:2) delighted in the
"fear of Jehovah" (
v.3). He neither judged by what His eyes could see, or by what His ears could hear (v.3b). Instead
"He walked by the Spirit and lived a life in, with,by and through the Spirit. In His human living the Spirit was manifested with all the attributes mentioned in this verse" (
verse 2,
footnote 1). Through His human living Jesus showed us a pattern of the Christian life, the God-man living, which was according to the Spirit (
Luke 4:1). We too, as those indwelt by Christ
("the Spirit is the reality of Christ", John 14:16-20,
2.Cor.3:17) are not to judge according to what we see or what we hear but live according to the Spirit.
