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!
