And lo a voice from heaven , saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

One of the greatest joys in life for a child is for the parent of a child to show pleasure in that child.  God the Father said that He was pleased with God the Son.  The Father was pleased because of the life the Son was living.  The Father was pleased because of the example being set by the Son.  The Father was pleased because the Son was obedient.

Of all those whom we could please our greatest desire must be to please the Father in Heaven.  There are many accolades and wonderful words which may be said about us.  The words that we should desire to hear the most will be: “well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21, 23)
