Jesus describes his Father

It has taken me a long while to finish a study on how Jesus described his Father. I found every time Jesus said something about Him, and recorded it. Some of the references were a bit difficult for me to figure out, especially in John, but I want to share with you this list.
Learning about the Father teaches us, also, about the Son. What is Jesus trying to tell us about heavenly relationship?
