John 13:1

Knowing that He would not leave them alone and He would give Holy Spirit to abide in them, even knowing that, Jesus made it clear in Scripture that He would love them to the end of His life here with them until they would reunite bodily in God’s Kingdom for eternity. No one will love you more!

Jesus’s apostles and friends were dear to Him. He knew that they would miss him.

We miss those taken from us too early. It is OK. He understands! It reminds me of the shortest passage in Scripture…John 11:35  Jesus wept. 

John 13:1

13 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Jesus’ work continues; His coming suffering and death is not the end, but the beginning. Although He is troubled by His coming death, He wants His disciples to have confidence in their knowledge that His death does not mark the end of His ministry. Faithlife Bible

To the end means either “to the last” or “utterly and completely.” What follows demonstrates Jesus’ complete love. Jesus loved His disciples, even though He knew that one would betray Him, another would deny Him, and all would desert Him for a time. NKJ Bible.

Our Lord Jesus has a people in the world that are his own; he has purchased them, and paid dear for them, and he has set them apart for himself; they devote themselves to him as a peculiar people. Those whom Christ loves, he loves to the end. Nothing can separate a true believer from the love of Christ. Matthew Henry Commentary.

Matthew 11:27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

John 8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

John 16:28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
