We know that Christ showed you and me the ultimate love act at Calvary. Beyond His desire to restore the people of God to righteousness was a deeper, more powerful purpose.
This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
2 John 1:6 [NKJV]
Every thing Christ Jesus did ... every word, every thought, every act ... was in complete obedience to the Father's perfect will. He obeyed the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. And when He was declared to be the Lamb of God, He knew it was His Father's will that He go all the way to the Cross.
Nothing has changed, brothers and sisters. You and I are commanded to obey the Father's will, just as Jesus did. (And as we are transformed into His image, we will do so with greater consistency.) It is how we demonstrate love. It is how we turn love into a verb. And it is how we ultimately bring glory to the Lord of lords!
Be encouraged, Jose
