God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Jesus came to a growing understanding of his Messianic calling by reading the Scriptures. He had to learn the Bible just as we must. Of course, He is the greatest theologian who has ever lived. His reading of the Bible would have been free from the problems that beset Christians who wrongly interpret passages and bring their own sinful dispositions to the text. Nevertheless, we must not imagine that Christ had all of the answers as a baby and merely waited to begin His ministry at the age of thirty without putting in hard yet delightful work on a daily basis in obedience to His Father’s will. As Christopher Wright notes, the Old Testament enabled Jesus to understand Himself. The answer to His self-identity came from the Bible, 'the Hebrew scriptures in which he found a rich tapestry of figures, historical persons, prophetic pictures and symbols of worship. And in this tapestry, where others saw only a fragmented collection of various figures and hopes, Jesus saw His own face. His Hebrew Bible provided the shape of His own identity.' …He had to study to know what to do. While He was never ignorant of what He needed to know at any stage of His life, He nevertheless was required to learn (Mark Jones).
Sin dwells in hell, and holiness in heaven. Remember that every temptation is from the devil, to make you like himself. Remember when you sin, that you are learning and imitating of the devil – and are so far like him. And the end of all, is that you may feel his pains. If hell-fire be not good, then sin is not good.

Add one once of tequila to a tall thin glass such as a parfait glass or
champagne flute. Carefully add about 1/2 teaspoon (1 teaspoon for the chile
head version) of tabasco down the side of the glass; it should sink to the
bottom. Even more carefully add one ounce of Sambuca (an Italian anise
liquor). You should have three layers, with the tabasco in the middle.
Drop a coffee bean into the drink. This is usually drunk in one gulp, then
you bite the bean.
You can probably substitute ouzo or anisette for the sambuca, and your
favorite hot sauce for the tabasco as long as it's not too thick. If the
densities of the substitutes are much different, however, you might not get
nice distinct layers.
