In the upper room ministry of the Lord Jesus He revealed to His disciples the importance of the commandments that He had given them: ‘He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him’, John 14. 21. To have the commandments is to know them and this should result in a desire to obey them in our daily lives. In this way we can express our love for the Saviour and, in return, experience His love for us and get to know Him better.
