This is My Beloved Son, hear ye Him

This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him

see Matt 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35  (same event recorded three times!)
==========================


Mark 2:8-12
v 8   Jesus knew immediately what they were thinking, so He asked them, 'Why do you question this in your hearts?  v 9 Is it easier to say to the paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or 'Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk?'  v 10 So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.'  Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, v 11 'Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home.'    v 12  And the man jumped up, grabbed his mat, and walked out through the stunned onlookers.  They were ALL amazed and praised God, exclaiming 'We've never seen anything like this before!'

see also  Matt 9:5-8; Luke 5:20-26  (same event recorded three times!!)

Oh, to hear comforting words-- Jesus prayed for us while on earth, before His crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection and continues to pray for us Rom 8:34 (NLT) Who then will condemn us?  No one --for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us.

Before crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection

John 17:20-26 (AMP)
v 20  Neither for these alone do I pray[it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on)Me through their word and teaching.

v 21  That they ALL may be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, SO THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE AND BE CONVINCED THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME.

v 23  I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and recognize that You sent Me and that YOU HAVE LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME.

v 24   Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me; FOR YOU LOVED ME BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

v 25   O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has failed to recognize You and has not acknowledged You, I have known You; and these understand and know that You have sent Me.

v 26   I have made Your Name (nature) known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make You known, THAT THE LOVE WHICH YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON ME MAY BE IN THEM [FELT IN THEIR HEARTS] AND THAT I MAY BE IN THEM.

John 13:34-35
I give you a new commandment:  that you should love one another, just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

By this shall ALL men know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves.
