Father's Command - The Real Valentine

Jesus said he did not come to judge the world but to save the world (John 12:47). Be careful not to attempt to use this single sentence as a means to justify rebellion. Jesus did not say people would not be judged. In fact he said, “He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).

Jesus told us the way to God both through his actions and through his words. He spoke all that the Father commanded him to speak and his words lead to eternal life (John 12:49).

We have received the same commission (Mt 28:20).
