Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory... John:17:24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
See All...

Our Lord told the Father that He desired for us to be with Him someday in Heaven. He even gave a reason—that we should behold His glory. He, of course, knew what would have to be done to make us fit for Heaven. We would have to be as righteous as He, our Saviour, is. He also knew that only He could do what was necessary to bring about that transformation. He, who knew no sin, would have to be made sin for us. Oh, what love! —Ken Gross

They nailed my Lord upon the tree;

            And left Him dying there;

Through love He suffered there for me;

           ‘Twas love beyond compare.
