How can you love to a command?
A threefold rule

In him was life
God's voice made articulate

Forgiveness
The cross with its long reward
The unforgiving servant
God's forgiveness and ours
Intercession
The authority of God : there is a place by my side
The authority of God : everything is his

We must go his way
An unconditional response
I am for him
The joy beyond
God supreme
