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
