Grace for your spirit July 17, 2008

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. Jn 17:4-5

The night before Jesus went to the cross, His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane was very revealing. All the pain and suffering he had endured, and was about to endure, was a predetermined plan to glorify His Father in heaven. The next few hours would look like a failure to the world, but to God it would be planned glory. Jesus also revealed that this plan had come from the days of eternity before the world was created. Jesus didn’t start in Bethlehem, and did not end up on the cross. He started in heaven, and after his resurrection, He would return to His glory. They had a plan for us before man was ever created. Give glory to God for His infinite wisdom.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
