Jesus tells his disciples, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Now, this might make us uncomfortable. After all, if someone were to say this to his or her spouse, we would rightly object. But what about a mom saying this to her child? This sheds a little more light on what Jesus says. As our creator and redeemer, Jesus knows what will bring us happiness, and his commandments are not burdens when properly understood. This is the case even though these commandments will often demand that we change our lives.
