How Jesus Handles Being Given Everybody And Everything
2.1 Remember, the Father’s will is that ALL men be saved. Notice that Christ is to FINISH the Father’s work. The Greek word for finish means to accomplish, to make perfect and complete. John 4:34 “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.” "Heb 10:7,9 Then I said, “See, I have come–it is written about Me in the volume of the scroll–to do Your will, O God!” He then says, “See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to establish the second.”
2.2 Notice that everybody and everything was given to the Christ. John 3:35 “The Father loves the Son and has given everybody and everything into His hand. John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had given everybody and everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God…" Matthew 11:27 “Everybody and everything has been handed over to Me by My Father…”
2.3 Clearly everybody was given to Christ and Christ finishes God’s work and gives them all eternal life. Also notice eternal life is GIVEN, not offered. Also, memorize Jesus’ description of eternal life. In John 17:3 Jesus’ description of eternal life was, “This is eternal life that they may know and continue growing to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:2 Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You even as You [God] gave Him [Jesus] authority over all mankind, that to all whom You have given Him, He gives eternal life.
2.4 God gave everybody to Christ and Christ finishes the Father’s work and fulfills His will by saving them all. All honor and recognition for the salvation of men goes to God Almighty and his Christ! John 6:37-39 “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise them up on the last day.”
2.5 It is the Father and His finisher the Christ who has or will draw you in and complete your salvation. “Draw” means to literally drag or reel in. You don’t “find” God, he ‘finds’ you! The church always speaks of “giving your heart to the Lord” but it is the Father and His Christ who gifts you with Salvation by opening your heart, mind, soul and spirit through the mighty working of Holy Spirit! John 6:44, “You’re not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me–that’s the only way you’ll ever come. Only then do I do my finishing work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.” John 6:65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father.” John 12:32 “If I am lifted up from the earth, I will reel all men in unto Myself." 1 John 4:10 This is the kind of love we are talking about–not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God. Matthew 11:27 "Everybody and everything has been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
2.6 Jesus seeks till he finds the lost one. He then carries it back! Luke 15:4 "What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Also see Matthew 18:11-14.
2.7 Jesus prayed for Universal Salvation. John 17:21 [Jesus praying for all believers] "that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. In verse 23, Jesus prays that the world will know that the Father sent Jesus. John 11:42, "Father, I know that You always hear Me.” John 10:16 “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring; and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.”
2.8 Jesus, not only offers, but GIVES life to the world. John 6:51 “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:33 “For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”
2.9 Christ is the light of the world - although some don’t see it yet! John 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
2.10 Rev 1:18 For now, remember these verses. They will be discussed later and in part two. “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Rev 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.”
2.11 Even the dead were preached to. Orthodox theology has been dancing around these scriptures for centuries. John 5:25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” 1 Peter 3:19 “in which also He went and preached the Gospel to the spirits now in prison” and 1 Peter 4:6 “For the Gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.”
2.12 Christ – the finisher of our faith! John 17:4 “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do."
2.13 Death abolished – everybody and everything is being made new. Rev 21:3-5 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making everybody and everything new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
2.14 Sinful man was barred from the Tree of Life because God could not allow man to live in a sinful state throughout eternity. The tree of life in this verse is available to the nations and the curse of sin is removed. If eons of people are burning in Hell – then the curse isn’t removed, everyone isn’t being made new, death isn’t abolished and the majority of men are living throughout eternity in a sinful state! Rev 22:2-3 “On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him”
2.15 But scripture teaches that Christ knows his sacrifice was successful! Isa 53:11 “As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied”
2.16 Jesus clearly didn’t preach the message that the overwhelming majority of the population will burn in hell forever as this scripture shows. John 4:42 "and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”
2.17 The word ‘gracious’ here means, “that which causes joy, pleasure, gratification, favor, acceptance, for a kindness granted or desired. Luke 4:22 "And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
2.18 See Matthew 16:6,12 where Jesus warned about the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees who were known at the time to believe in endless torments, religion through fear, prejudice and favoritism. See Matthew 6:25-34 regarding how Jesus taught AGAINST fear of the future. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love.
2.19 The works of the devil are sin and death. If the majority of people are burning throughout eternity in the second death because of sin, how is death rendered powerless and the works of the devil destroyed? Heb 2:14 “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil” 1 John 3:8 “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” 1 Peter 3:22 “Now that He has gone into heaven He is at God’s right hand with angels, authorities, and powers subjected to Him.” Eph 4:10 “He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill everybody and everything.”
2.20 Here Jesus tells the unrepentant Jews they have the Kingdom of God within themselves and they will see him again after they accept the Lord! Meditate on that. Luke 17:20-21 “Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered the Pharisees and said, The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Matthew 23:37-39 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. "Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! “For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’”
2.21 Jesus made clear he was going to take EVERYTHING the devil had. This is an important teaching because standard theology teaches that the devil makes off with the majority of everyone that ever lived. Luke 11:20-22 "But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. "But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his goods. Matthew 12:29 “Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will take everything in his house.” Also see Mark 3:27.
