6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6-7. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matt 7:21
Jesus is our loving shepherd and he speaks to us in the Holy Bible, in this Bible we will find the character of our God Jesus Christ. As we can read and see, Jesus loves every one, because He knows our inmost feelings and thoughts and still loves us. Jesus loves those who were despised by societies like the unfaithful woman, who anointed Jesus’ feet with her tears (Luke 7:44-50). Jesus loves children and especially disabled ones, sick people and foreigners like His Heavenly Farther does (John 9). Do you love those our Jesus Christ loves? You can find Jesus in Holy Bible, in christening and Holy Communion as well as in local parish (e.g. https://www.espoonseurakunnat.fi/osallistu/lutheran ). A good starting point is the Gospel of John (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1&version=NIV) (https://raamattu.fi/raamattu/KR92/JHN.1/Johannes-1).
