“As the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do” (John 14:31).
The Lord Jesus came into this world to do the Father’s will. But where did that will take Him? All the way to Calvary’s cross. Sometimes we are willing to do what others ask us to do, but then perhaps they ask us to do something very difficult, and we say, “No, I cannot go that far. I cannot do that for you.” But the Lord Jesus was willing to do the Father’s will, whatever it cost Him.
It was a most difficult thing for Him to go to the cross, yet He went willingly, and although it was very hard for Him, yet in another sense it was a happy path. We too will be happy, and enjoy God’s love, if we keep His commandments. We will say a little more about this tomorrow.
