Love this. It highlights the importance of obedience and draws our eyes upwards of that which obedience and love can do. Great thoughts! Thanks!

I love this reflection - beautiful and thought provoking. Jesus was indeed obedient to the Father even when it didn't seem to make much sense, as John pointed out. I think it was also the opportunity the Father chose to reveal who Jesus is and his purpose, to reveal the the Trinity and inaugrate the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
