The hour, the time, the eternal life








The hour has come. It’s not the chronological time (Kronos) but opportune time (Kairos), the time of salvation, the time of grace. The time that we come to realize the Eternal Life, which is the knowledge of the Only True God.
Knowing God, is not a matter of religion but of love. Making known the love of God, is the measure of the accomplishment of the work. God’s work is salvation: in Hebrew, the precise term is Ieshua, which means God saves; translated as Jesus.
God saves, because He loves. He loves the broken nature of man, but He refuses the arrogant and the hypocrite. The time of God meets the brokenness of man that needs healing and salvation. Healing that comes from the love of the Father, through the words of Jesus that gives life.
The words of Jesus are the words of the Father, the words of eternal life. So beware to those words given that are not from the Father but words according to the wisdom of men. The words of the Father brings eternal life, not just intellectual thought of a charlatan. The words of the Father are the words of Jesus that give hope and freedom from every anguish. The words that consoles because it’s empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.

From the Gospel according to John
JN 17:1-11A

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said,
“Father, the hour has come.
Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
just as you gave him authority over all people,
so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.
Now this is eternal life,
that they should know you, the only true God,
and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
I glorified you on earth
by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
Now glorify me, Father, with you,
with the glory that I had with you before the world began.

“I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They belonged to you, and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
because the words you gave to me I have given to them,
and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
and they have believed that you sent me.
I pray for them.
I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me,
because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
and everything of yours is mine,
and I have been glorified in them.
And now I will no longer be in the world,
but they are in the world, while I am coming to you.”
