John 14.31 reminds us that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what My Father 
has commanded Me.
When Jesus was wrapping up His earthly visitation He summarized His work as a world-wide example of love. Love for the Father and love for the people of the world past, present and future was to be how His work is defined.

Matthew 2:11 records they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold, frankincense
