John 17:2 Give Eternal Life

John 17:2 (KJV)  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

Christ has the power over all of God’s creation and most of all He has the power to give eternal life to as many as the Father has given to Him. The gift of eternal life is the greatest blessing for the human soul. Ultimately, man will understand the value of the human soul. He realizes this either before it’s too late or after it’s too late when death strikes.

The knowledge of the preciousness of the human soul and the remedy for the lost human soul in Christ is ultimately what is needed for every individual. This realization is the work of God when He by the power of the gospel endued with the Holy Spirit’s unction brings conviction to the human heart to turn to Christ and to turn away from sin.

Indeed, as the Son of God testified, He has faithfully fulfilled the Father’s will in bringing redemption to its fruition through His suffering, death, resurrection and ascension. Now, the church awaits His return to complete the work of redemption by giving to the saints a glorified body. Hallelujah! Amen.
