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
