Jesus loves God so much that He did all He did.
Jesus knew God loves US so much that He did all He did because HE loves God the Father and He loves all His Father loves. God’s love for US is so great, the only one worthy to represent and bring this so great love to us is His one and only beloved Son Jesus.
Jesus loves God so much and He loves who GOD loves so much that He stood in the middle between us and God, taking on and in Himself all that kept us separated from God and all the wrath that God rightfully needed to pour out over and against the sin that had overtaken us. Jesus stood in the middle and took everything from both sides that prevented us from having the fullness of each other. Jesus did this out of unfathomable, immeasurable love and supreme obedience!
We cannot know this kind of love, but yet we must.
We need it for ourselves.
We’re required to give it away to others… just like Jesus did for us.
But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do…
John 13:31
