3 “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God“
Whenever I read this verse, I think to myself “this is how Jesus was able to lay down his life” and it’s why I can as well! We have to know we’ve come from God, we belong to God, we are secure in Him. Nothing that befalls us can separate us (Romans 8) and nothing we do in service to Him can demean us. If I could think that way, in every moment, what joy I’d have in the privilege of being His and His alone. As someone once said, “we play to an audience of one!”
