JESUS CHRIST & HIS FATHER: “Not My Will, but Thine, Be Done

Jesus Christ came to reveal the Father-to make His love, holiness, compassion, and eternal purpose known. Every word Jesus spoke, every miracle He performed, and every act of mercy opened a window into His Father's heart. When Jesus declared, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9), He revealed the wonder at the center of His ministry: through the Son, we can know the Father. The relationship Jesus had with His Father shaped everything He did. He sought His Father in prayer, delighted in His presence, trusted His love, and obeyed His commands. His obedience carried Him through rejection, suffering, and the agony of Gethsemane, where He prayed, "nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done" (Luke 22:42). Those words reveal the depth of the Son's surrender-a love that remained faithful when obedience required the cross. In JESUS CHRIST & HIS FATHER, Dr. Michael H. Yeager calls readers to discover the Father whom Jesus came to reveal and the relationship that governed the Son's earthly life. This revelation challenges self-will, exposes shallow devotion, and calls believers into deeper fellowship with God. Through Jesus Christ, we are invited to know the Father's love, trust His wisdom, and surrender ourselves to His will. The Son's example confronts every heart: will we love the Father enough to obey Him?
