John 17:2 He Should Give Eternal Life

John 17:2 (KJV)  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

There is but one who is called Christ who has the power to give life not just to give and sustain physical life, but the power to give eternal life. Life everlasting is the preorgative of God. This is the declaration of Jesus Christ that He has the power to give eternal life.

Death comes as a result of God’s judgment – Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 

The remedy is thus given, well paraphrased in Hebrews 9:28 (KJV)  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 

There is a generation that will pass from life to everlasting life at the second coming of Christ, this is the church at His coming. There will be a great reunion, the dead resurrected and the living given incorruptible bodies unto everlasting life.

May the church be watching and ready for the time of change. Amen.
