God the Father when he breaks his silence:
Mark 1:11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
The Father unleashing his glory:
Matthew 17:5 a bright cloud…a voice from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Jesus on why he would die:
John 14:31a “But that the world may know that I love the Father.”
It’s amazing! The transcendent, never created, always eternally there, infinite perfection of one God in three persons, when speaking of one another, say, “This is the one I love.” Perfect love. Agenda harmony love. Love that produces only the ultimate best.
When Jesus prayed before dying:
John 17:23c,d “that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them as you have loved me.”
What!? The Father loves the Son. The Son loves the Father. The Father loves his followers just as, even as, the same as he loves the One and Only Begotten Son!
More than amazing! The transcendent, eternal, infinite, perfect creator… above, beyond, and utterly other than his creation…in love chooses to be immanent, here, personally present with us.
Breathtaking…the love that God has for you.
Thank you for sharing, and God bless you.
