Genesis 47:28-48:22; Psalms 26 – 27; Matthew 26:57-75
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. John 17:4 NKJV
Many people finish their lives regretful of things left undone. But God’s eternal Son approached Golgotha knowing that His public ministry was finished, and that He would fully and perfectly fulfill His Father’s will at Calvary. He had revealed the Father and demonstrated the divine kingdom’s character through His miraculous ministry (Acts 10:38). “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). Christ died, arose, and ascended, knowing that His first coming was complete. —Keith R. Keyser
His glory—not only God’s Son, in manhood He had His full part;
And the union of both joined in one, forms the fountain of love in His heart. —Robert Hawker
