Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 10.15

John 10:15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.” We are known and loved by Jesus as Jesus is known and loved by the Father. We know and love Jesus as Jesus knows and loves the Father. Don’t miss this. Jesus is going to unpack this relationship more in John 14. The Father and Son relationship is the pattern and source of the relationship between Jesus and His sheep/disciples/followers. Attitudes of trust and surrender permeate both relationships. This begs the question: Would God see these attitudes of trust and surrender permeating our lives and our relationship with Him? Love flows where trust grows, and it looks like surrender (laying down our lives). Jesus knows us like the Father knows Him. Out of that love relationship (of trust and surrender) between the Father and Son, flows our salvation and our lives, for our lives are hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3).
