Father, the time has come !!!===╬ JESUS MY REDEEMER ╬

John 17:1 (NIV). After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:''Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.''...... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
John 17 is one of the most moving chapters in all the Bible. 
Jesus knows he is going to die. He knows he is spending his last few hours before his death with disciples who do not understand what he is about to do and why he is about to do it. 


Jesus has two key goals in mind as he prepares himself, and his disciples, for their life ahead without him. He wants them to be one so they can remain strong and influence the world for God. He wants what he does to bring glory to the Father. 


While he faces humiliation and abandonment, his desire is to bless others. We are going to face hardship. What will be our goal? Hmm, no wonder we are reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus and follow his example.
