John 17:1-5
“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed."
😇 Jesus makes three important points…
God has given Jesus authority over all flesh. Jesus isn’t doing this on His own.
Jesus’ definition of eternal life is “knowing God.” We know God when we know that Jesus died and rose from the grave to satisfy the penalty for our sin.
Jesus fully accomplished everything that God sent Him to do. There is nothing left to do.
🙏🏼 Thank you, God, for offering a way out of a problem I could never solve…my sin. I believe your Son Jesus has sealed my relationship with you forever. I praise you and your Son, Amen.
