John 17:4

John 17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Which no other man could ever have said - not even Adam in his perfection, for his work was not finished; and, alas! how marred it was before it came near to finishing! And the most gracious man that ever died could not, in his last moments, say, "I have finished the work which them gavest me to do," for it was still imperfect. There were many things which he would wish to have done, and many error which he would wish to have rectified; but our Lord is more than man, and rises to this point - "I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
