footnote message 2

John 17:5
...and now , O Father, glorify Me with Your own self with the glory which I had with You before the world was. (Tomorrow's verse will be 1st John 5:19)

Today's verse leaps from yesterdays in an amazing way! Jesus has always been - as I pointed out yesterday - there was never a time when Jesus was not there- HE is outside of time - He sees the past and present at the same time -take comfort in that -He knows how all this is gonna end - so no matter you circumstance today - tomorrow is in God's hands - He already knows the plans He has for you - right now - even though those plans have yet unfolded - Jesus asked the Father to bring His glory down - so that those around Jesus would know that He was in fact the aonoited One - the One who would lay down His life for His children- Jesus was God in the flesh - ive heard some kids say that Jesus was God with skin on - this is the truth - and while He was God - He also limited His ablity - or else He could not have died or be tempted - He was all man but also all God - just think about that for a moment -God of all came down into the creation He created and then died the death we all should have died and rose again!
During this season of Easter - lets remember how much it cost to save us! How much it took to take the sting of death - the death that our sin caused - we don't have to sin - that's true but we do sin - daily -moment by moment- all of us fall short of His glory!
Jesus has always been - and always will be! He is undefeated - and He never will lose even one battle or one person - its all in HIS hands!
Trust in the One who came and laid HIS life down - the Lamb of God!

a side note: If you have seen JESUS - you have seen GOD!
In CHRIST we see GOD the FATHER!
