The Father’s love is revealed in the Son’s. The Son has been given to us that we might give up fear. There is no fear in love. The Father sent the Son “that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10). Is not the Son the Father’s unsurpassable sign of love and graciousness? Did He not come to show us the Father’s compassionate care for us? “Whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me” (John 12:45). The Father is not justice and the Son love. The Father is justice and love; the Son is love and justice.
