On Christ’s Obedience
Chapter 14 – 17 of John is a long passage that deserves the Christian’s undivided attention in meditation. It is just so rich with theology and sweet doctrine concerning Christ’ purpose on earth, what He achieved on the cross at Calvary and more importantly, His relationship to the Father and the Holy Spirit (identified as the ‘Helper’ in this passage). One thing that stands out very clearly is Christ’ proclaimation that His obedience to the Father’s commandment is evidence of His love to the Father (John 14:31). This is repeated again in John 15:10.
