As You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. John 17:2
In John 17, Jesus prays, and unlike many previous times when He went out away from the disciples to pray, we get to hear what our Lord Jesus said in prayer to our Lord God. Authority over all flesh, we want it, we seem to remember it through our family line going back to Adam, but that dominion was lost to sin. You may have felt the desire to be at peace with all the wild beasts as in Isaiah 11, but that is for a future time. But while we worry over peace with the wild things, Jesus takes His authority and gives eternal life. Wow, His prayers are so different from mine.
Have a prayerful day in Christ Jesus!
