I
glorified you on earth. I completed the work you have given me to do while
here. (John 17:4)
Jesus had a mission to complete while He was
living among men and women in this world. He explained in this passage that
every action of His life had one basic purpose – to glorify the Lord God, His
Father on earth. By doing so he caused men and women to worship, praise, and
adore God and follow His plan for life with all their strength. Is that your
mission? Is that the focus of your life and the end to which you are leading
your people?
Jesus was praying in the garden of
Gethsemane on the eve of His crucifixion. He had, indeed, completed the work
among men and women that He was given to do. And, in so following the Father
God’s will for that life, He had brought glory, honor, and praise to Him and
His name. Obedience; being true to what His given mission required, was the
reason God was glorified. That is also the way that you will bring honor to
God. Simple obedience to the work – that is your mission.
