Just a thought by coppi

John 17 is a chapter which I felt was given to me years ago when I was in  Albuquerque, NM, studying a new technique in art.  I usually did not get home until late.  I would immediately go take my bath and go to bed. But, before going to sleep I would read a chapter in my Bible. John 17 was the the one that I was impressed to read.  I do not know about you, but,myself, I always wanted to know I was loved as much as God loved the Jewish people as well as he love the chosen disciplines.  Even though I knew He sent His son, Jesus, to be the lamb slain before the foundation of earth.  He, Jesus, was sent to earth to become our way back to God.  I knew all of that but I still looked for every scripture in the Bible for reassurance. The above scripture was one of my findings – “Is not for them alone”.  Jesus was sent for mankind.  He was our “ladder” that Jacob saw leading to heaven.  He loves us – all of us.  I am climbing that ladder and by His grace will eventually get to the top.  That’s what the scriptures relate and I believe in them – and that settles it.
