John 17:1-2

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 17:1-2. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

Here we have the two doctrines of a general and a particular redemption. Through his death, Christ has power given him over all flesh, but the distinct, especial object is the salvation of his own - "that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him."
