The union Christ had with the Father was the greatest that we can conceive of in this life if indeed we can conceive of it. Yet we have no indication that even Jesus was constantly awash with revelations as to what he should do. His union with the Father was so great that he was at all times obedient. This obedience was something that rested in his mature will and understanding of his life before God, not on always being told Now do this and Now do that with regard to every details of his life or work.
Dallas Willard
