Gideon is Visited

 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O brave man.” But Gideon said to him, “Please my Lord, if the Lord is with us, then why has all this happened to us?

Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
