The Father's Gift to the Son
John 17:6-8
I have manifested your name to the men which you gave me out of the world: your they were, and you gave them me…


I. ALL BELIEVERS ARE GIVEN TO CHRIST. As —

1. His purchase and His charge.

2. His subjects.

3. The members of His body.

II. NONE ARE GIVEN TO CHRIST BUT THOSE WHO WERE FIRST THE FATHER'S.

III. ALL THOSE WHO ARE GIVEN TO CHRIST KEEP HIS WORD.

(W. Burkitt.)
