I…Do Exactly What My Father Has Commanded Me

John 14:15,21,23,30-31 – “If you love me, keep my commands…Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”…Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them…I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave.

John 12:49 – For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.

John 4:34 – “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
