BRINGING ETERNAL LIFE - JOHN 17:1-8

“By believing Jesus, we bring glory to the Father. We receive eternal life. A very simple yet the most profound truth so you make it ever encounter, and I believe that part of this prayer is he's praying. He's praying like they believe they received it, and we're going to hear later like keep them going God. Help them hold on. This is the basic gospel message he's praying. He's praying for this divine plan to keep going. The words he uses here, glorified, glory, sent, believe, world, love. These are all the words that Jesus has been using a lot through the entire gospel. He's like the favorite words that John puts in them in the mouth of Jesus. loves talking about the world. How much God loves the world. He loves talking about eternal life and the glorification of God through this. It's basically summarizing his own relationship with the Father, and how he wishes like the disciples will continue in that same intimacy. Jesus glorifies the Father by showing that God has sovereign over all the evil that tries to distract us. Even death. That God loves all of humanity. Every single one of us, and he gives eternal life for those that we believe in his son. And this is the very central purpose of the life of Jesus to glorify the Father by imparting eternal life to humans.”
