John 14:31

ObedienceJesus ChristGod's love

29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.

But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
