It is difficult for me to understand the father/son relationship that exists within the Godhead. Why does Jesus need to be shown anything? Doesn’t He already know everything, including the Mind of the Father (and isn’t there a sense in which he is the Mind of the Father—the Divine Logos)? But apparently, the Father shows everything to the Son because He loves Him, and showing Jesus something is the equivalent of Jesus doing something, in part for the purpose of amazing us. In this dynamic at least, I can see a parallel. God gives us commands, not out of any necessity, but out of love. And, in perfect obedience, there would be no difference between God showing us His will and our doing it.
