Jesus Accomplished His Work

I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. John 17:4-6       

Even before He went to the cross, Jesus acknowledged that He had accomplished the work that god the Father had given Him to do. Jesus knew what He came to do—to give glory to the Father as the blind received sight, the lame walked, the lepers were cleansed, and the deaf received their hearing, the dead were raised up, and the poor had the gospel preached to them. Luke 7:22. Jesus taught the disciples about His Father and they kept His word. Does that mean that they followed the Ten Commandments? That is God’s Word…as is Jesus commandment to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength…and to love our neighbor as ourselves. That is a big accomplishment. Can we say that about ourselves? 

RSVP: Jesus is giving God glory. Can you do the same? How will you respond to Him today? 

Prayer ~ Jesus, You taught Your disciples and us to pray… this way: Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13.We give God the glory!
