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
