The motivation for Jesus’ obedience was in his relationship with God

He obeyed God because he loved God
  • John 14:31 - I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me
  • John 15:9-10 - I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love
He obeyed God because he wanted to please God more than he wanted to please himself
  • John 5:30 - I seek not to please myself but him who sent me
  • Matthew 3:17 - This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.
  • Matthew 17:5 - With him I am well pleased. Listen to him!
  • Mark 1:11 - You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased

Key Phrase: Jesus wanted to please God more than he wanted to please himself
