A Deep-Seated Love For God The Father
Text: John 14: 31
A DEEP-SEATED LOVE FOR GOD THE FATHER
Jesus had the most profound and deep-seated love for God His Father. He had carefully maintained this love for His Father throughout His life and ministry on earth.
“But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.”
John 14:31

2. “And as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do”

d. The Father has revealed to Him that He must suffer and die and He would obey Him fully.

3. “Arise, let us go from here”
