Mark 1:11 (NKJV)

Then a voice came from heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Matthew 17:5 (NKJV)

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"

On two occasions God speaks from heaven concerning His Son, on both occasions the speech has the tone of a Proud Papa, "My Son, who I love, and who pleases Me," but on the second occasion He adds an instruction to us, "Listen to Him, because I love you and desire that you be just like Him."

Abba Father thank You for Jesus who simply said, "Follow Me," and for those of us who do follow Him, He leads us to life, life abundant, and life eternal; it is in the name of our Lord, our Savior, and our Healer that we pray. Amen.
