Jesus was commanded

Jesus was commanded

Jesus was commanded to worship the God of Israel, "Hear O ISRAEL, the Lord OUR God is one."

He was required to worship OUR God and since he only worshiped the Father alone he proved to us that OUR God is the Father alone.

He didn't worship a three-person-God proving that Israel's God was not a three-person-being. Jesus is our most trustworthy witness.

Our Lord Jesus shows us the Shema means our God is one single HE who we are to serve with all our heart.

Mark 12:32; Deut 4:35. Jesus also shows us how to identify that one single HE - his Father alone - "there is NO OTHER but HE." Jesus identified that HE as the Father.

He has made us to be... priests TO HIS God and Father.

Rev 1:6. Even further, this command was for every Israelite including Jesus, a Jew born under the Law. It says, "the Lord OUR God." Jesus was required to recognize and serve ISRAEL'S God.

He did this by recognizing and serving only one person as OUR God, ISRAEL'S God. Israel's God = Jesus' God. "OUR God" for Jesus meant one person only.

This proves beyond any doubt that the God of Israel was only one person. Otherwise, Jesus did not obey the Shema commandment.
