John 12:50 His Commandment Is Life Everlasting

John 12:50 (KJV)  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

It is the Father’s commandment which our Lord Jesus speaks – “Even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” What then was spoken by the Father?

Jesus said, “I know that His commandment is life everlasting.” What then is the Father’s commandment? That we believe in His only-begotten Son. For it is the Son whom the Father has appointed to be the Mediator. It is the Father therefore that sent the Son on this life-saving mission. When questioned, our Lord directed the enquirers to the Father.

John 12:44 (KJV)  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

Jesus came on the Father’s mission that all who comes to His Son, Jesus, with their burdens of sin, shall find forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. Amen.
