Jesus and the Father

John 14:15-31

This is a puzzling passage. I don't pretend to get all that the passage is talking about. It is a little disturbing that a passage this simple could be this puzzling.

One thing I notice is the relationship between Christ and the Father. I guess because of the Sonship stuff, I recognize this more. It seems to be particularly prevalent in John. It surprises me that that Christ stated motivation in going to the cross is to show the world that he loves his father and will do whatever he commands.

This makes me think of how much the Father loves us, and gives a window into that mysterious heavenly relationship. I will be keeping my eye on this.
