Jesus Christ Came To Give The Father’s Words ~
Passage ~ “I
have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they
have kept Your word. Now they have known
that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I
have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have
believed that You sent Me” (John 17:6-8).
Significance ~ After Christ left this earth and returned to
the Father this responsibility was passed to His followers. “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore [as you are going about your life] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all
things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end
of the age.’ Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20). “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to give a defense to
everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness
and fear” (1 Peter 3:15).
the key question:
“Who do you say that I am?”
(Matthew 16:15). This is the most important
question you will ever answer. If you do
not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake
anyone can make!
