“The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.” Jo3.35 ESV
It is a great comfort to consider the last thing that Jesus told His disciples, before He went back to the Father. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” While Christ was here, He not only spoke often of His authority, He gave clear demonstrations of it. He forgave sin, cast out demons, healed the sick, and even raised the dead.
Jesus is far more to us than just a good moral teacher. Christians do not look at Christ as a philosopher but as a Physician. He has power over all that ails us. He is the cardiologist of both body and soul, and we look to Him for all manner of healing. Perhaps His greatest healing is to be found in His prayer to the Father the night before He offered Himself, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. Jo17.2-3 1/16/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
