Jehovah, Our Father, Loves Us Dearly - Conclusion JEHOVAH IS A LOVING AND CARING FATHER

Consider what we learn about Jehovah from the way that he treated his Son, Jesus.  Jehovah always heard Jesus' prayers. He not only heard Jesus' prayers but also answered them.  (John 11:41, 42) No matter what trials Jesus faced, he sensed his Father's love and support. - LUKE 22:42, 43.

Jesus acknowledged that his Father was the Source of his life when he stated: "I live because of the Father." (John 6:57)  Jesus completely  trusted his Father, and Jehovah supplied his physical needs. Most important, Jehovah cared for Jesus spiritually. - MATTHEW 4:4.

As a loving Father, Jehovah made sure that Jesus knew he had his Father's backing.  (Matthew 26:53; John 8:16) While Jehovah did not shield Jesus from all injury, He helped him to endure trials. Jesus was assured that any harm he might suffer would be temporary.  (Hebrews 12:2)  Jehovah proved he cared for Jesus by listening to him, providing for him, training him, and supporting him.(John 5:20; 8:28)  Let us now see how our heavenly Father cares for us in similar ways.
