THE UNIVERSAL VIEW



















THE UNIVERSAL VIEW


Jesus had a UNIVERSAL VIEW
Or GLOBAL view of life


He loved everyone=EVEN-
His enemies=but he particularly LOVED
Those who were his own-
LIKE we all do


He GAVE his life for ALL=and
For LOVE OF ALL


“I pray not only
For these-


BUT also for those
Who BELIEVE in me
THROUGH their word........” John 17:20


It's ALWAYS interesting-
To SEE Jesus pray=and
HOW he prays


This time=though=
We HEAR the actual words
And he is PRAYING for us


His PASSION for us-is
Just hours away-
But NOTHING detracts


From the UNIVERSAL VIEW
Of his FATHER'S love and life
For us


He is WILLING
To GIVE his life for all=
DESPITE the fact=
That he does not want to


The UNIVERSAL view of life
The UNIVERSAL VIEW of love


Jesus took Peter and James and John-
And he began to feel SORROWFUL
And troubled


He said
d o them:
“My soul is overwhelmed-
With SORROW to the point of death=
Stay here-
And KEEP watch with me” Matthew 26:38


They could not=they all fell
ASLEEP on him


“GOING a little farther-
He fell with his face
To the ground and PRAYED:


'My Father=
IF it is possible


May this cup
Be TAKEN from me


Yet NOT as I will
But AS YOU WILL” Matthew 26:39


Jesus had=the UNIVERSAL VIEW
Of his Father
Jesus had The universal view
OF LIFE


The SAME view
WE should have as his disciples
The SAME VIEW we should have=
As to LOVE ALL


Jesus gave HIS LIFE for all
Jesus gave HIS LOVE for all


“My command is this:
LOVE each other


As I have LOVED YOU


GREATER LOVE has no one
Than this




TO LAY DOWN one's life
For one's friends” John 15::12-13


This is the UNIVERSAL VIEW=
Jesus DIED for all


The LEAST we can do=
To pay him back


IS to LIVE OUR LIVES
For God=and for LOVE OF OTHERS


This is OUR UNIVERSAL VIEW


In Jesus' name we PRAY
