1)These words spake JESUS,
and lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said, FATHER,
the hour is come; glorify the
son, that thy son also may;
glorify thee
2)As thou hast given him
power over all flesh, that he
should give eternal life to so
many

JESUS prays for himself,
that the hour to depart out
of the world, to suffer and
die for his people, which
was agreed between him
and his FATHER from all
eternity and it was
welcome to him on account
of the Salvation of his
people, that he may be
restored to his pre
incarnate glory, the prayer
not only reveals the
conscious divinity of the
SON, the divine humanity
of the son of man , there
was actually blended the
union of the divine and
human, and the perfect
exercise of the privileges of
both the two fold
personality of the GOD
MAN , which but his willing
acceptance of the cross,
our LORD prayed as a man,
and Mediator of his people;
by supporting him under all
the sorrows and sufferings
of it; and in carrying him
through it; so that he
conquered all his people’s
enemies Satan, the world
and death and obtained
eternal redemption for
them, and his resurrection;
by not suffering him to
remain so long in the grave,
as to see corruption: and by
raising him at the exact time
that was foretold by the
prophets and himself; and
by sending an angel to roll
of the stone; and by raising
some of the saint with him
and by putting such a glory
on the body of his
resurrection; and ascension
to heaven, yet he spoke
with majesty and authority
as one with equal to the
FATHER, eternal life could
not begiven to believers,
unless through CHRIST
For the glorification sought
is that reached through,
betrayal, arrest, suffering,
death, , resurrection, and
ascension,, and the
introductory clause, the
hour , throughout the
Gospel of JOHN JESUS the
hours is the appointed
time for his suffering and
death on the cross as his
hour:
JOHN 2:4
JOHN 7:30
JOHN 8:20
JOHN 12:23
JOHN 13:1
The time for him to die has
arrived, glorify your son,
JESUS was asking that his
mission to the world would
be made known through
the CROSS, give the world
demonstration that I am
your son, so sustain me and
manifest thy power in my
death, resurrection and
ascension as to show that I
am the SON of GOD ,as a
result of the impending
sufferings , being both the
lowest humiliation and
lifting up of the SON, which
main purpose, namely
glorifying of the FATHER, to
make his FATHER glorious,
reveal the FATHER to the
world of his love, and
justice, and mercy, and by
spreading the Gospel
among men, through JESUS
death on the CROSS, GOD
would provide forgiveness
of sins and give eternal life
to all those who believe in
his son.
JESUS prayed that GOD
would so honor him in his
death that outstanding
proof that he was the
Messiah, and men be
brought to honor GOD, by
his death, the law, the truth,
grace, holiness, faithfulness
and mercy of GOD were
honored by the spread of
his Gospel and conversion
of sinners, in the Ministry of
his word, by his servants,
attended with his Holy
Spirit, by all that CHRIST will
do, now that he is glorified,
to spread the gospel GOD
will be honored, with the
conversion of a single sinner
GOD is honored and
spreading of the Gospel to
all nations and revived the
religion, from false teaching
which will Honor GOD and
bring the truth to the world.
AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM
POWER OVER ALL FLESH
All men fallen are weak,
sinful Jew or Gentile; and of
|
|
every character, elect or
non-elect men of every
nation that is given by the
FATHER power over Angels
also to the spirit or soul
also, which power is a
governing, disposing and
judicial one; he rules them
with righteousness, he
dispose, he orders of them
with wisdom as he please,
and will judge them at the
last day; and this is a power
given him by his FATHER
GOD sent JESUS his
begotten SON in to the
world, and given him power
overall all men, it was as a
result of this power given to
CHRIST that the apostles
were commanded to go and
preach and teach all nation
in this respect, that he can
bestow eternal life upon as
many as thou hast given
him, namely all believers,
to all on whom the FATHER
has purposed to bestow the
blessings of redemption
through his SON, that the
atonement of CHRIST
should not be in vain hence
GOD promise in
ISAIAH 53:11, he was
assured that JESUS should
see through the travail of
his soul and be satisfied,
hence JESUS has assurance
from the FATHER.
It is clear indication that
JESUS CHRIST designed his
sacrifice to avail as to
many , for given his live as
ransom, as to enable any
as partaker of everlasting
life, JESUS time refers to his
death, the whole purpose
for GOD sending JESUS to
earth was to give eternal life
to men, both GOD and
JESUS are found in the
completion of the great
work of salvation, there is
the glory of righteousness
which JESUS secured by a
perfect life, the glory of the
cross itself, the glory of
JESUS resurrection which
justifies his Messiahship
and the glory of JESUS
CHRIST ascension and
exaltation .
Thou hast sent thy Son into
the world, and given him
power over all men, in this
respect, that he can bestow
eternal life upon as many as
thou hast given him, namely
upon on believers
ETERNAL LIFE
Eternal life: is more than
endless existence, is a
special quality of life that
we believers receives,
through JESUS CHRIST when
we partake of the essential
life of GOD, which allow us
to know GOD in an-ever
growing knowledge of GOD,
Is the real life, it is the very
life of GOD himself, that is
leaving forever, the only
being who can be said to be
eternal is GOD, to possess

3)And life eternal, that they

CHRIST, whom thou hast

|
AND LIFE ETERNAL THAT
THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE
THE ONLY TRUE GOD
The source of eternal life,
or it is in the manner that it
is obtained, is through the
knowledge of GOD and his
SON JESUS CHRIST is the
source of unspeakable joy
of eternal life, how do we
get eternal life? JESUS tell
us clearly here by knowing
GOD the FATHER himself
though his son, JESUS
CHRIST, eternal life requires
entering into personal
relationship with GOD in
JESUS CHRIST, when we
admit our sins and turn
away from it, CHRIST’S love
lives in us by the Holy spirit
TO KNOW THEE THE ONLY
TRUE GOD
To know GOD is love and
obedience, to him, which
requires intimacy, external
life consist of a growing
knowledge of the only true
GOD as opposed to false
GOD, the word “know”
include love, reverence,
obedience, honor, his
grace and mercy
gratitude supreme
affection, to know GOD as
he is to know and regard
him as a law giver, our
creator, our sustainer, is to
yield the whole of our life,
our soul and strive to obey
his law and do them
THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND
JESUS CHRIST
The only true GOD, in
opposition to all false gods,
to know JESUS CHRIST is to
have practical expression of
him as he is- that is, to
suffer his character and
work to make due
impression on the life and
heart the knowledge of
GOD, as the GOD of all
grace, pardoning iniquity,
transgression and sin and of
JESUS CHRIST as the
Mediator, who is said to be
sent by the only true GOD,
in respect of man salvation
since the FATHER is called
the only true GOD, in
opposition to the many
false GOD of the heathens,
for CHRIST is also styled the
one LORD, and only true
LORD GOD and not
exclusion of the FATHER,
external life is made to
depend as much upon the
knowledge of him, as of the
FATHER, who sent said to be
sent by the only true GOD,
about the business of man’s
salvation .

|
FOR HE WHOM GOD HATH
SENT SPEAKES THE WORD
OF GOD
Whom GOD had sent- out
of heaven out of his bosom
in human nature as the
Messiah, speaks the word of
GOD- The truth, or
commands of GOD, the
doctrine of grace; the word
of truth, the word of faith,
the word of righteousness;
the word of reconciliation;
the word of salvation and
eternal life; the whole mind
and will of GOD, and
whatsoever he speak were
as true as the oracles of
GOD
JESUS alone had the full
measure of the Spirit, there
was no limit to the spirit,, it
means the entire fulness of
divine life and divine power.
though JESUS was GOD as
well as man, yet as
Mediator, GOD anointed
him, or endowered with the
influence of the Spirit, so as
to be completely qualified
for his great work
BY MEASURE- full and
complete and filled with the
Spirit of GOD, which dwells
in him as fountain.
Not merely authorizing him
as Minister, as the prophets
and apostles were sent of
GOD in a sense, but not as
CHRIST was sent; they
sometime spokes their own
words, as Nathan , Isaiah,
Ezekiel, when the spirit of
GOD came upon them:, and
have gifts differing one to
another, to non of the
prophets’, disciples and
Ministers but they some
time spoke their own words
as Nathan did to David,
when he thought of building
a house to the LORD, but
whatever CHRIST spoke was
the word of GOD, for he has
the fullness of the spirit of
GOD, but in him fulness of
the GOD head dwelt bodily.
THE FATHER LOVES THE
SON
There is such a relation as
that of the FATHER and the
SON, but he loved the SON
with more singular and
peculiar love; so that all
things were by the FATHER
delivered to him, all power
in heaven and earth
MATTHEW 28:18 to give
eternal life to as many as
the FATHER had given him
all things, into his hands of
the SON: all power, all
authority, all rule, all reign,
all supremacy, all dominion,
all honor, all glory, all
praise, all worship, all things
have being given to GOD’S
only son, all the gift of the
spirit, and fullness of all
grace, sanctifying,
justification, pardoning,
adopting, and preserving
grace .
HE THAT BELIEVES ON THE
SON HATH EVERLASTING
LIFE
The man who believes in
the SON has eternal life, he
that, hears the proposition
of the Gospel, and agree to
it believes in it, as with his
heart, he receive him as his
Savior, and truth in him, and
have hope in him, has
everlasting life, that is being
delivered from death,
condemnation and HELL.
GOD will receive and honors
Him any one who receive
and honors his son whom
he loves so much, if the
person believes in GOD’S
only SON, GOD gives eternal
life to him, the believer has
it in CHRIST In whom he
believes: he has right unto it
through justifiying
righteousness of CHRIST, by
his grace; and he has in faith
and hope and has the
knowledge of CHRIST, and
communion with him and
have the honest pledge in
his heart ,will have
everlasting life.
AND HE THAT BELIEVE NOT
That does not believe
CHRIST to be the SON of
GOD, or JESUS to be the
Messiah; or reject him as
savior; who lives and dies in
state of unbelief, shall not
see life, life eternal shall not
enter into it, and enjoy it;
he shall die, the man who
does not believe the son
will not see life, he will
perish,
The wrath of GOD abides
on him, as the sentence of
wrath of condemnation,
anger, temper, indignation
and death, is pronounce up
on him, will never reversed,
but will, be executed on
him, and he not been
redeemed from it . his
wrath is Anger against sin,
reaction against
unrighteousness, opposition
to the injustice of me and
punishment of evil and
wicked men, the anger of
GOD aroused because men
do not believe in the SON of
GOD; they allow their heart
to become hardened ,
stubborn, and unrepentant,
they reject GOD;S love and
mercy, and rejecting,
abusing and cursing and
denying his SON, man reject
GOD mercy, which is ever to
reach out and save men, he
transgress GOD’S laws and
men sin and come short of
the glory of GOD will
GOD is Holy, righteous,
pure, loving, gracious,
merciful, he execute justice,
he show wrath and anger as
well as mercy and
compassion, his wrath is
manifested against all
unrighteousness,
ungodliness and GOD
punishes sin. By given up

29)And every one that hath
forsaken houses, ort
brethren, or sisters , or
father, or mother, or wife or
children, or land for my
name sake, shall receive a
hundredfold, and shall
inherit everlasting life
|
AND EVERYONE THAT
FORSAKE HOUSE OR
BRETHREN
In every age and nation and
not only my disciples that
hath forsaken, houses, or
brethren, or wife , or
children, either by giving
any of them up, by willingly
refrains from acquiring
them , which stand in
competition with CHRIST,
the believer are always to
be ready to part with them
for the sake of CHRIST, shall
receive, inward satisfaction
and divine consolation, but
it is always required that we
love them less than we do
to JESUS CHRIST, that we
give up all when he
demands of it.
JESUS begins and end with
material possession- house
and land, and between
them introduces in
graduation the most
cherished members of the
family , a believer might feel
himself constrained to
relinquishes the dearest tie
of old associations, to put
himself wholly in the hand
of GOD, free from all
worldly things
The spiritual relation ship
by believing in JESUS
CHRIST would compensates
for the loos of earthly
connection, he shall have
brethren in faith, hundreds
will show him affection of
father and mother, and IF
he suffer temporary loss,
Rich people have a great
have a great account to
make up for their
opportunities above others,
it is utterly impossible for a
rich man who set his heart
and mind upon his riches, to
get to heaven, JESUS said it
is very difficult for the rich
man to enter into the
kingdom of heaven,
nothing less than almighty
grace of GOD will enable a
rich man to get over this
difficulty, they must be
saved worldliness, godliness
with contentment is great
gain ,
The material reward is
meeting of necessities and
whatever else GOD wants
us to have left over so that
we can help meet the needs
of others
AND INHERIT EVERLASTING
LIFE
Shall enjoy to all eternity
that unspeakable joy of
glory which GOD has
prepared for all his children,
and especially for those who
have cheerfully made such
sacrifices, and have given
such proof of their faith in,
and love, their GOD and
Savior
is an inheritance
incorruptible , undefiled,
which did not fade away,,
reserved in heavens, when
other worldly inheritances
are corruptible, defiled,
fading, and perishing: house
fall, relation die, friend fail,
and lands and estates do
not continue for ever, those
who hid the calling of our
LORD and focus on the
things above are favored
with his presence here and
shall enjoy glory and
happiness with him in
eternity.
The true followers of
CHRIST shall be rewarded
because he left all, he has
given his supreme
allegiance to JESUS CHRIST,
these are far more difficult
things to surrender his
immediate family and his
possession honor and
lands, habits, hobbies,,
pleasures, friends all can be
given up and subject to
CHRIST,, completeness, and
fulfillment in JESUS CHRIST
than in any amount of
possessing or wordily
companionship and
friendship there is much
more happiness, joy, peace,
security, assurance,
confidence, satisfaction

24)Verily, verily, I say unto
you, he that heareth my
word, and believeth on him
that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall
not come into
condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life
|
VERILY, VERILY I SAY UNTO
YOU HE THAT HEAR MY
WORD
JESUS says, you and most
solemnly say to you, the
person who hears my
words, that is my message ,
Gospel, my doctrine and
my teachings all that is
taught about him and his
FATHER and believes and
trusts in him, who sent me,
has possessed , has now
own eternal life, that is life,
that is eternal life actually
begins, the believer is
transformed and does not
come into judgment and
condemnation, but passed
over from death to live
eternal, JESUS describe
those who have eternal life
and will not be condemned ,
as whoever hear is word
and believe, hearing and
believing is not act of single
moment, but action that
must continue, JESUS
CHRIST confirm the our
present obtaining of Eternal
Life is predicated on
continuing hearing and
believing of the word of
JESUS CHRIST, his nature is
eternal life , which inherent
in him, such a person is
saved by hearing JESUS
word, which is he is
committed and obedient to
it, and they are saved by
believing GOD, that is by
believing that GOD has sent
His son JESUS CHRIST to
save them
WE have life when we
fellowship with CHRIST, that
is living in us through faith.
everlasting life is living
forever with GOD, the result
of being saved: eternal life,
a person passes from the
state of death in to the state
of life, from the state of
condemnation into the state
of justification,, when a man
is truly saved he never
condemn to die; he is
declared righteous and
given eternal life, such
person cross over from
death to life, the
righteousness of CHRIST is
being revealed to him, and
received by faith, and the
sentence of justification
passed on upon his
conscience by the Holy
Spirit, before now was a
dead man, but now alive to
GOD and secured life
eternity

of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give
him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into
everlasting life
|
BUT WHOSOEVER
DRINKETH OF THE WATER
JESUS meaning the Spirit
and grace those who truly
partakes, CHRIST living

teaching, his grace, his
spirit, and to the benefits
which come into the soul
that embraces the glorious
Gospel, who partakes of the
Gospel, abide sin them and
do them shall be forever
satisfied with its pure and
rich joy
SHALL NEVER THIRST
He will be satisfied with the
grace of CHRIST; he will not
desire the pleasures and
amusement of this world,
after sinful lust and
pleasures, and the former
ways hurtful way of living,
there are desires and lusting
after carnal things
Men know immediately
how to quench their
physical thirst, within their
heart men sense a thirst the
stagnant water of flesh and
the world never quench a

poison and death, the
stagnate water of the flesh
and sinful nature are such

extravagant living, position ,
fame and power , the
stagnant water of the world
will never quench a man’s

BUT THE WATER THAT I

JOHN 3:16

16)For GOD so loved the
world, that he gave his only
his begotten son, that
whosoever beleiveth in him
should not perish, but have
everlasting life
|
FOR GOD SO LOVE THE
WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
GOD so loved the world,
this does not mean that
GOD approved the conduct
of men, but that he had
compassionate and
merciful feelings for them,
GOD hates wickedness, but
he still desire the happiness
of those who are sinful, he
hate sin but love sinners
and all mankind rebelled
and deserved to die, but his
love for the world or for all
mankind, in giving his only
begotten SON, was shown
by these circumstances:
v All the world was in
ruin, and exposed to
the wrath of GOD
v All people were in a
hopeless condition
v GOD gave his son, man
had no claim on him: it
was a gift
v He gave him up to
extreme sufferings,
even the better pains of
death on the CROSS
v It was for all the world,
he tasted death for
every man, he died for
all, he is the
propitiation for sins of
the whole world
2 CORINTHIANS 5:15
HEBREWS 2:9
1 JOHN 2:2
That he gave his son, to die
for a sacrifice for their sins,
to die in their stead, and
give a satisfaction for them
to his justice, and this Son
was not only his SON by
adoption, but his only
begotten SON because of
his singular generation of
the virgin without help of
man, but from his eternal
generation, which none
ought to do, but in GOD
alone, the world in its
widest sense ready to
“perish” the immerse love
of GOD to that perishing
world, measurable only, and
conceivable only, by the
gift, he so love the world
that he gave his only
begotten SON, this is the
highest expression of love,
so it shows the depth of the
love of GOD, that he is
willing, to give his only SON
into the hands of sinful men
that he might be slain, and
thus redeem them from
eternal sorrow
For GOD’S love is wide
enough to embrace all
persons, GOD’S love extend
beyond the limit of race and
nation, even to those who
oppose him, all that is the
world, GOD gave his son as
an offering for sin on the
CROSS, to atone for the sins
of the world from the loving
heart of GOD
Eternal life is not an
extension of man’s
miserable, mortal life;
eternal life is GOD’S life
embodied in JESUS CHRIST,
given to all believers now as
a guarantee that they will
live forever, in eternal life
there is no death ,sickness,
enemy, evil or sin,
GOD loves every person,
not just the religious and
good, he does not love only
the people who loves him,
he love every one, even the
unlovely, selfish, greedy,
unbelieving, Gentile, Jews
the basis of GOD’S love is
his nature, GOD is love, he
demonstrate love and show
his love he want to reach
everyone in the world with
his love
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVE
IN SHOULD NOT PERISH
To believe is more than
intellectual agreement that
JESUS is GOD, it means to
put our trust and
confidence in him that he
alone can save us, believing
is both trusting his words as
reliable and relying on him
for our redemption
To believe includes three
main elements:
v A sure conviction that
JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S
SON and the only savior
for lost humanity
v A self-surrendering
fellowship with and
obedience to CHRIST
v A fully assured trust in
CHRIST that he is both
able and willing to bring
us to final salvation and
fellowship with GOD I
heaven
The most glorious truth is
that GOD gave his one and
only SON, this is the most
remarkable proof of GOD’S
love, it magnifies and shows
how great his love really is,
he is willing to give the thing
so dear to his heart in order
to save the world.
GOD purpose of GOD’S
love to save men:
v To save men from
perishing and
condemnation
v To save man to eternal
life
v To save men through
believe, which make
salvation conditional.

27)Labor, not for the meat
which perisheth, but for
that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life, which
the son of man shall give
unto you; for him hath GOD
he sealed
|
LABOR NOT FOR THE MEAT
WHICH PERISHED
JESUS criticized the people
who follow him only for the
physical and temporary
benefits and not because
they are spiritually hungry,
but man seek the
Messiah/Savor, not to serve
and worship him, h seek
after the Messiah for what
he can get out of him,, man
is interested in himself, not
in acknowledging and
honoring JESUS, they are
looking for prestige,

labor for daily bread, which
could be secure for them

sent me

will which he hath sent me,

Not to do his will separate
