The Lord Jesus Christ loves His people with the perfect love of His Father. He loves us with a love that is like the astonishing and spectacular intratrinitarian love of God. He calls us to then abide in that love so that our joy would no longer be meager, but that it would be full and complete. Jesus calls us to obedience to His commands toward this end. May the Holy Spirit evermore teach us to live a life of obedience in the footsteps of Christ so that we would know this magnificent love and joy which He seeks for His people.
