The High Priestly Prayer 17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.…
This message contrasts Jesus, the door of the sheep and the Good Shepherd with all who have preceded Him and shows that He alone is able to give abundant life, a life that begins here, but continues into eternity. This life is not simply for the people of Israel, but for all who will believe…

Throughout history, God in Trinity has cared for His Creation and because it has been damaged He has taken responsibility to restore. Ecclesiastes 12:1 English Standard Version…
