Friday Reflection*
*June 12,2020*
*Stay steadfast in God’s Love*

Happy Friday friends, I trust we continue to stay safe and well. Today we pause to reflect on this verse of scripture: Jesus said ;“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
*John 15:9 NIV*
https://bible.com/bible/111/Jhn.15.9.NIV

As I reflected on the text, four (4) questions came to mind:

1. *Why did Jesus say “as the Father has loved me”?* : God’s love for His son is like no other, it is continuously consistent, true, full of compassion and unconditional.

2. *How did Jesus know that he was loved by the Father?* Jesus would have experienced His Father’s love even before he walked the face of the earth. However, more so when He came into this world. He went through a tough time, but His Father was *always present*. Taking care of his needs and walking with him daily to ensure the purpose to which He was sent was being fulfilled. *The bottom line is that He ( JESUS) experienced God’s love daily.* That is how he was assured that his Father loved Him.

3. *What did he mean when he said “so have I loved you”?* This is to say that it is this same unconditional, compassionate, continuous and consistent love that God has for Jesus, He (Jesus) has towards us. Just as how God ensured that the purpose to which Jesus was called was being fulfilled, it is in the same way Jesus is ensuring that our purpose in the earth is being fulfilled.

4. *Why are we to remain in His Love?* Simply put, we should remain in His ( Jesus’s) love that we might experience His comfort and blessings while we fulfill our purpose here on earth. Amen….

*Until next week, tan Inna Jeezas Love!*
