When God Says …
“Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.” (John 18:4-6 KJV).
These passages just demonstrated the power of the name of the Lord when He declared His name I AM, those who came to purportedly ‘arrest’ Him were thrown down to the ground. He went forth! And, did not step back an inch. They could not arrest Him if He did not volunteer Himself. The Lord Jesus said this: “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”” (Matthew 26:53-54 NIV). None, can force Him. He gave Himself up, for His love of the world, to those who wanted Him killed. The need for blood to be shed could not be stopped. It must happen so we who believe in Him are washed white as snow from the stain of sin.
Hence, ransomed by His unblemished blood, Apostle Peter reminds us with this exhortation: “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” (1 Peter 1:13-19 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 18:2-3 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.” (John 18:2-3 KJV).
Before this clandestinely swoop happened, Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests to betray the Lord to them. They were delighted and promised to give him money (Mark 13:10-11). He casually went to them: “and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.” (Matthew 26:15 NIV). This was a well organized sellout plan duly mapped out with the chief priests and temple officers (Luke 22:4-5). In both Matthew’s and Mark’s account, Judas Iscariot has been watching his Master for the right opportunity to hand Him to the religious authorities (Matthew 26:16; Mark 14:11). Familiar with the usual meeting place where they gather, Judas came with a band of men and officers with lanterns. He even set a sign of kiss to identify who the Lord Jesus Christ is (Luke 22:47-48).
We must recognize though that this betrayal is not a Judas Iscariot issue. Judas is us. He’s just like us or we like him, a person in a flesh of weakness. His sin is no greater than anyone’s sin. He sinned and we too sin as we are still in our flesh walking in a cursed world under the influence of darkness. The issue at hand is the enemy - the Devil. He is in the world roaming like a roaring lion looking who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). He comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). The reason we must always wear the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). And, we must always come to the Lord Jesus by faith, like Apostle Peter, in times we fail.
If only Judas waited for the risen Lord Jesus, he could have run to grace. We, as well, like Peter who sinned, must run to grace! Peter along with John ran to enter the empty tomb where grace was laid (John 20:3-7). When Peter saw the Lord Jesus at the shore in Galilee he jump the boat into the water (John 21:7). Here in this encounter with the Lord, he was restored by the risen Lord Jesus Christ. “He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” (John 21:17 ESV). And Scriptures promised us this: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:8 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 18:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.” (John 18:1 KJV).
This passage shows us that the Lord and the disciples moved across the valley over the brook Cedron to a garden, which was an Olives orchard apostle Matthew identified as the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36). The Lord Jesus, in choosing this location, coveys the depth of anguish He experienced in this last crucial moments towards His arrest. Gethsemane means "oil press” in Hebrew. Which imparts the anguish the Lord Jesus went through, likened to extraction of oil from Olives pits, in these few moments. The gospel of Luke graphically shows Him in state of pressure. “And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” (Luke 22:44 NIV). In this instance the Lord Jesus is cleansing the ground from the curse of Adam's sin by His sinless blood mixed with sweat. Now, by faith in Him, the curse of sweat due to hard work (Genesis 3:19) is lifted. In Christ Jesus, we are now blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3).
The depth of the Lord’s angst, One unblemished by sin, and now in the brink of adsorbing the sins of the world upon Him, is very evident. The weight of it is manifest in the Words He spoke to the three apostles with Him - Peter, James and John. “Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”” (Matthew 26:38 NIV). And, it showed in His very deep intense private prayer - “Going a little farther, He fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”” (Matthew 26:39 NIV).
Yes, the Lord Jesus being in human flesh, struggled to face the burden of sin He did not commit. Yet, He readily submit to the Father’s will for our sakes. He did not have to. But, He chose to. He did not just take it willingly. But because of His love for us, with eagerness, He rushes on and goes for it! He calls on the Three apostles with Him: “Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”” (Matthew 26:46 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:25-26 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:25-26 KJV).
Choosing to believe in Christ Jesus sets us apart. When we’re filled with Him, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—He’s the most important force in our life. Our longings are satisfied in a different way because of His presence in our heart, mind and being.
The things that were important to us, before we gave our life completely to God, have now taken a different meaning to us. We appreciate in a new way some of the things we used to be interested in like the world does, but we don’t have the same carnal passions now, as then. Yes, these closing passages of the Lord’s High Priestly prayer to our righteous Father sealed the completion of the mission of love that the Father sent Him for. Through grace, by faith in Him, we’ll be spiritually transformed by the Father’s love.
Apostle Paul puts this in a compelling testimonial perspective in his exhortation to the believers in Philippi. He said for our reflection: “though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” (Philippians 3:4, 7-11 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:24 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:24 KJV).
In this passage of the Lord’s High Priestly prayer, we see Him pleads with the Father. He asks the Father to give the disciples, and by extension us-who would believe in their words of testimony about Him, the ability to fully understand and appreciate His glory. That’s His divine nature and power; essentially to experience the Son and the Father’s greatness firsthand. These reveal a profound pronouncement for us to know that He prayed so the disciples and we, who believe, can be with Him where He is and see the glory that the Father gave Him, out of His love, even before the foundation of the world.
As recipients of His grace, being born again by faith in the risen Christ Jesus, He wants us to be with Him. And, we are. Not because of us, but because Him. We are the Father’s love gift to the Son. This prayer was fulfilled by the Lord’s finished work on the cross. It is written: “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-" (Ephesians 2:6-8 NIV). It is because of His love, as apostle John affirmed: “By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:22-23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” (John 17:22-23 KJV).
Unity is not a commodity of this world. On a grand scale, this world is divided, fractured and segmented. All we can see around are walls of divide built between countries, cultures, opinions, politics, social ranks, religions and every other issues and things. People always find something to fight. They always find issues to quarrel on. In this instant a war is raging, a home is in turmoil and a heart is troubled. It is always like this without the reign of Christ Jesus.
It is only in Christ Jesus do we find the barriers brought down and all of us made into one family. As we put our faith in Him by His grace and love we have oneness with Him and the Father. That’s what this world needs. Only by allowing the love of Christ to reign can the world be as one. That, we receive by faith in Him, and not by walls of religion, especially those carrying the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He did not come to establish enterprises of religion. He came to have a personal intimate relationship with us, so that we can be one in Him and He in us.
As the Lord’s redeemed, that’s why we’re here being His children by grace, born again through faith in Christ Jesus. We are given His glory that may we be the catalyst for unity in the bond of peace in this world (Romans 12:5). Apostle Paul reminds us, who receive His grace, with his testimony. “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” (Romans 12:3-5 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:20-21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” (John 17:20-21 KJV).
In these passages the Lord Jesus Christ shifted the emphasis of His prayer to the well-being of the disciples and us-the present day believers in Him and the Father through the disciples’ testimonies. The Lord Jesus looked beyond the disciples' time. We’re in the Lord’s mind. He saw us and others who would believe the truth that the disciples would reveal to us. His prayer for them, and for us, is that we would be unified so that the world around us will believe that God sent the Lord Jesus to be the Savior of the world. So let's get together by coming to Christ Jesus and seek His life, His love, His will, and His Spirit to help us be what He has called us to be.
In Christ Jesus by faith, we become members in one body (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). And, as we consent to Him to love us, we are secure to the one call of hope that we belong. We and the first disciples become one in the Son and the Father. Apostle Paul declared profoundly to the believers in Ephesus for our reminder: “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” (John 17:20-21 KJV).
In these passages the Lord Jesus Christ shifted the emphasis of His prayer to the well-being of the disciples and us-the present day believers in Him and the Father through the disciples’ testimonies. The Lord Jesus looked beyond the disciples' time. We’re in the Lord’s mind. He saw us and others who would believe the truth that the disciples would reveal to us. His prayer for them, and for us, is that we would be unified so that the world around us will believe that God sent the Lord Jesus to be the Savior of the world. So let's get together by coming to Christ Jesus and seek His life, His love, His will, and His Spirit to help us be what He has called us to be.

The Gospel of John 17:18-19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” (John 17:18-19 KJV).
Our Lord Jesus Christ was sent full of grace and truth from the Father to us, so we could be restored as His beloved children by grace. Now the Lord Jesus sends his disciples (and us who believes and are born again) into the world to make a difference for those we meet and show them how they can be different from the world. The Lord Jesus Christ submits himself totally to the Father’s will so that our mission and our future and our lives can belong to the Father, as well. Our mission is God-led, God-inspired, and God-willed. We are His, and our mission is His. Why? Because all who follow Jesus, all who call him Lord, belong to God! We are His children and co-heirs with Christ! (Romans 8:17).
Apostle Paul affirms in his exhortations to the believers in Ephesus, and to us being the Lord’s redeemed in these last days: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.” (Ephesians 1:3-6 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:16-17 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” (John 17:16-17 KJV).
In these utterances of the Lord's supplications to the Father, He beseeched for our sanctification (this is for us to be set apart or be made holy for God’s special use or purpose) through His truth which is His Word. His Word is the fullness of the Scripture. And, His Word - the Holy Bible, is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1).
The Father’s Word is the person of Truth who came in bodily form. His goal in giving us His Word - His Truth, is not to limit us or restrict us, but to make us pure and holy. Through His Word of Truth we are transformed to live in the center of the Father’s attention and intention. It is not by doctrines of religion. It is not watered down scriptures being knit-picked for use as doctrines of religion. This is God's pure untainted Words that we must partake through our reflections and meditations, every moment of our lives. We must open our hearts to His Word of truth and apply it in our lives through faith. God's Spirit is at work to transform us from within into people who are pure and holy. Through the process of regeneration, we become more and more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In time that God set for our sanctification, as we receive the Lord Jesus Christ to be our Savior and are born again, scriptures declare: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” (John 17:15 KJV).
This passage of the Lord’s poignant prayers to the Father for our sakes, highlight our active engagement with the world along with the apostles, as children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Rooted in faith, being born again the moment we believed in our Savior, we are sealed for our call to witness and serve as ambassadors for Christ. We have the authority, power and resources of heaven supporting us. That’s the affirmation of the Lord’s intercessory prayers for us to the Father. He entrusted us in the Father’s care. We can rely on His Words of truth for our sanctification amidst confrontation with the world. The passage shows the reality that to be sent into the world involves both the risk of suffering and the assurance of God's protective presence. The Lord Jesus has modeled us how to navigate by faith in the complexities of a fallen world.
In this moving moment of the Lord’s intercessory prayer, He expresses heartfelt concern for His disciples who would remain in a hostile world. Recognizing the unique challenges they would face, He ensured their need for divine protection is provided, rather than retreat from it. The Lord Jesus does not request the apostle’s and our removal from the world, but rather that they/we be sustained and kept safe. We shall overcome. We have the Lord’s assurance, as He declared in His parting discourse. It is written: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” (John 16:33 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:14 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14 KJV).
In this passage, the Lord Jesus continues His final prayers for His disciples and by extension to us who followed their steps of faith. He declared that being children of God - born again in Him, as He is, so we are in the world (1 John 4:17). Yes, we are in the world, but we are not of the world. We are set apart the moment the Lord Jesus gave us His Word and we received it by faith. Then, we are hated by the world being not of its own. Hence, the Lord Jesus, preparing to physically depart from the world, entrusted us in the mighty protection of our Father.
We are God's chosen to be His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20)! He plucked us out of the world to do His Kingdom works which the Lord Jesus proclaimed with warning, and with words of reassurance so we shall endure. It is written: “And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:4-14 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:13 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.” (John 17:13 KJV).
In this prayer declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is revealed that He is our source of joy! It’s no wonder, that the apostle Paul in his exhortation said, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” (Philippians 4:4-5 NIV). Yes, He is close to us. He came down from heaven, wrapped Himself in human flesh and move in our neighborhood (John 1:14), so that His joy is fulfilled in us.
From the Lord’s birth to his resurrection and to his coming again to take us home to be with Him, while in this world, His is our source of joy. He came to bring the Father’s great love. He came full of grace so we can live victoriously in a hostile world. He’s never forsaken us and will never leave us. He ensured that death cannot separate us from His love. He will return to bring us home. He is our everlasting joy.
Hence, the prophet Nehemiah proclaims that this day we have now in Christ Jesus is holy to our Lord. The joy of the Lord is our strength. So, let us celebrate! “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”” (Nehemiah 8:10 ESV).

The Gospel of John 17:12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.” (John 17:12 NIV).The Lord Jesus continues on His priestly prayers for the protection of His core disciples and to keep them in their faith and courage to stand strong. He affirms that while He was with them they were kept safe under the Father’s authority, power and protection in the name that the Father gave. In His name, all of those who remain in their faith were never lost, and will never be. Yes, they may have fallen short at times in their walk, like Peter. We too may have some missteps while in this world. But, like the Eleven apostles, we must never lost sight of the truth that the person of grace who is the Master - Christ Jesus, is faithful and merciful. In His missteps Apostle Peter always finds his way back to the warm embrace of the arms of grace of Christ Jesus our Lord. Not like Judas Iscariot who failed to see the power of grace and used his power of free will to go his own way. He sadly was lost. His choice to follow the trappings of world under the cue of the prince of darkness led him to the road of perdition, in fulfillment of the prophecy of his betrayal (Psalm 31:9).
This passage is therefore reminding us, being the Lord’s and the Father’s own, that we have heavenly protection by faith in Christ Jesus. We have the Lord’s absolute promise to believe and stand on. As we put our faith in Him and rest in His grace by believing, and look to Christ Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, He assures us with this declaration: “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” (John 10:28-29 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:11 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” (John 17:11 KJV).
This passage is one of the Lord’s most profound parting prayer pleas of love for His beloved disciples. These young apostles sought the Lord, and the Father has given them to be His own. Earlier, the Lord warned them out of love, being pioneer pillars of faith, that they will face intense trials. That’s on account of their relationship with Him and the Father while still in the world. The Lord promised that He will not leave them orphans, as He will send the Holy Spirit to be with and in them. Ensuring they are well-covered, now the Lord Jesus prays for the Father’s divine protection to keep them secured with the authority and power of His name. We, when we follow the road of faith they have travelled, being the now disciples of Christ Jesus, have these promises, as well. We are born again into the kingdom of God by grace through faith in Him. We are now co-heirs with Him (Romans 8:17) as children of our Heavenly Father (Galatians 3:26).
This prayer of the Lord to the Father beseeching Him to be mindful of them our early examples of faith and by extension to us now who are born again by faith in Christ Jesus, echoes the psalmist’s hymns of praise. It is written: “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:3-5 ESV).

We, when we follow the road of faith they have travelled, being the now disciples of Christ Jesus, have these promises, as well. We are born again into the kingdom of God by grace through faith in Him. We are now co-heirs with Him (Romans 8:17) as children of our Heavenly Father (Galatians 3:26).
This prayer of the Lord to the Father beseeching Him to be mindful of them our early examples of faith and by extension to us now who are born again by faith in Christ Jesus, echoes the psalmist’s hymns of praise. It is written: “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:3-5 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:9-10 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.” (John 17:9-10 KJV).
Reflecting on these passages, lead us back to remember all the things the disciples did off the mark. We can recall all the confusion and the things they misunderstood. The instances they blew the opportunity to do the right thing or say the right word. During the Lord’s walk with them, His disciples often came up lacking and short of what’s expected. Yet the Lord Jesus did not give up on them. He loved them. He even called them His friends (John 15:15). In these passages, He declared them, and us now who believe, as His and the Father’s own.
Well, what did they do with that trust, that unflagging confidence that they would be His glory? Through the work of the Spirit, they changed the world, helped create an enduring movement, and brought the Lord’s' message of salvation by grace to untold millions over the centuries because of their ongoing legacy of obedience. They are His glory. And as we live totally dependent on His grace by faith and in His finished work on the cross, so are we!
Not because of us, but because of Him who loves us. As we rest in His grace by faith, the Lord Jesus affirms these in His very reassuring declaration: “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:8-11 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:6-8 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.” (John 17:6-8 KJV).
In these passages from the Lord's prayer to the Father, we discover glorious truths that must not be neglected but embraced. The only begotten Son of God came on a mission to reveal the Father to all humanity. Knowing and seeing God the Father through the light of the Words the Lord Jesus spoke and the signs He manifested was the foremost matter He sought to teach and show to His disciples and us. He has chosen them and us out of the world. We were given to Him by the Father (John 17:6). He gave us all Words of revelation provided directly from the Father. Those Words are for us to mirror on and obey. Our obedience, as the Lord Jesus affirmed, is by believing in Him (John 6:29). Now, in Christ Jesus, we belong to the Father. We are sons and daughters of God, in Christ.
These prayers of declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ, put in heartfelt perspective Apostle Peter’s statement of faith when in one instance they were asked if they want to go away. It is written: “So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”” (John 6:67-69 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:4-5 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:4-5 KJV).
In these passages, the Lord Jesus in prayer to the Father teaches us by His Word and by His perfect model of obedience to completely fulfill the works the Father called us to do that which will bring Him glory. The Lord Jesus Christ left nothing undone for which the Father sent Him to earth to accomplish - always glorifying the Father by His perfect holiness. He supplied the demands of the law (Matthew 5:17) so we can be made righteous by faith in Him (Romans 3:22). When the Lord Jesus approached John the Baptist to be baptized by him of which John the Baptist objected to, He gives this as a reason, as it is written: “Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented” (Matt 3:15 NIV).
For us to give glory to the Father and that we may be glorified in Him, we are called to fulfill the work of God. The work of God we are called to do is to believe in Him whom the Father glorified before the foundation of the world. He, whom the Father is well pleased with - His only begotten Son, is who we must listen to, to give Him and the Father glory. The Father declared this from heaven: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”” (Matthew 17:5b NIV). Yes, let’s listen to Him, as it is written: “Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”” (John 6:28-29 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 17:1-3 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:1-3 KJV).
The Lord Jesus Christ, having summed up His farewell message to His disciples, that in Him they (and us) can have good cheer, for He overcomes the world. He looked up to heaven and prayed. The Son giving glory to the Father, for the time has come for the fulfillment of the mission He came to do. He came to give us life that eternally endures. He came to bring us a victorious life in a hostile world. Yes, a life that would last longer than the plains, the valleys, the mountains, the oceans, the earth, and the sky, He came to give. And the secret to this life is believing in the only begotten Son of the Father, Jesus Christ our Lord. It is a life marked by a close bond of dependence in our triune One God in Christ Jesus for our everyday living. It is a life of seeking after God and finding Him. It is learning to totally trust in Him with every fiber of our being.
Hence, as children of God in Christ Jesus through the process of rebirth by faith, it is of the essence we take it to heart knowing that: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:1-4 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of John 16:33 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!
When God Says …
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 KJV).
In this passage, the Lord Jesus Christ reminds us that we are in a cursed world, dominion of which Adam reneged to Satan at their encounter in the garden. The power of the world is under his realm of control. Hence, we are warned of adversity to be faced with. But now, in the Lord’s completed work of salvation, this power in the world was defeated when He fulfilled the Father’s will to go to the cross. Through the cross and the grave, He broke the power of sin and death, by His dying sacrifice and resurrection. He brought peace and immortality to our lives as we believe and receive Him to be our Savior. He ensured that death is silenced and not anymore have the final say. Our Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the world in total victory.
Now, in this post-resurrection period of the Lord’s dispensation of grace through faith in Him, we are no longer facing a battle to fight for victory. In Christ Jesus, as He declared ‘be of good cheer; I have overcome the world’, we are assured that our battle is now a fight from the ground of victory! We are in a lopsided battle in our favor against the forces that control the world. Our victory is already won! Hence, it is fitting for us to take to heart and believe by resting is His grace, as it is written: “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:56-57 ESV).
