If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss?

Firstly I will thank Him for how merciful he is to me, for all ha has done for me and for His wonderful love. And ask Him to give me more strength and courage to tell His true Gospel to other people who are unsaved, so that they can also see Hima nd Love Him more than I did. I will just look at His eyes and say How glad, happy and fortunate I am to be His child.

How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment?

He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him. ''Jesus quoted by John 14:21''. Jesus asks us to obey Him and in turn He will love us for bieng obedient to Him for He knows that if we love Him truly, we definitely would keep up His commandments. This situation is similar to that of a child and his parent. When the child obeys the parent, the parent is so happy and knows that the child loves Him and in turn the parent also starts loving the obedient child, for the child paid its due respect to his parent by not only obeying but also by loving Him. The parent grows more and more intimate with him. Shares many things, Loves him, Helps him, Cares for him, Protects him, Does everything for him, gives His life for him because He knows that the child will never go away from its love and will be obedient. And even if the child moves away from the parent, the parent will chastise and make Him obey again for the parent knows what is good for his child. Similarly God also disciplines us and brings us back in love to obey Him. And during this growth of relationship, we feel a deep intimacy towards our Lord. I guess this is the way Jesus links intimacy to him with obedience to him.
