42nd Post Jesus Relationship with His Father - Con't

We will be discussing two passages in this post; John 10: 30, and John 14: 7.
John 10:30 says: "I and the Father are one." This was spoken toward the middle of His ministry, you notice that Jesus is still reminding the people that He (Jesus) and the Father (God) are one. Meaning that they both think the same way on everything. In order to grasp what was going on in Jesus mind in Gethsemane (posts 36 & 37), you need to remember this. Jesus supposed reluctance to drink the cup was not in disobedience to His Father, but just as the Father hated sin so did the Son. Jesus. The Father told the Son that He must drink the cup of wrath and sin in order for His earthly body to become sin for us. Jesus knew this was the only way He could save us so He became sin on our account in order to pay the price we needed to pay because the sin was ours. This occurred during the three hours Jesus was on the cross, from noon to three when the earth turned black or dark as night. God the Father DID NOT LEAVE JESUS DURING THIS TIME,
He (the Father) turned His back on Jesus, because He could not look at sin.(2 Corinthians 5: 21).

John 14: 7 talks about Jesus saying to the people, you rejected Me and in doing so rejected the Father who sent Me. He goes on to say that all you will know about the Father will be shown by Me. Look at Me and the way I live My life to get to know the ways of the Father.
