Daily Bread – April 13, 2022 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) John 17:26 – And I have made Your Name known to them, and I will continue to make It known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I am in them. The Continual Ministry Of Jesus Jesus proclaimed the Name of the Father by the works which He did (John 10:25, 5:19-20, 36). The works Jesus did were proof the Father was in Him, and He was in the Father (John 14:11, 8:18). Through those mighty signs and wonders, the authority of the Father was manifested to the world – through Jesus proving He was the Redeemer and Savior of the world. The same ministry of Jesus continues to this day through His Church (John 14:12, 20:21; Mark 16:17-18). Therefore, even though Jesus was about to be crucified and was going to depart from the Earth, He was able to say He would “continue to make it known” because of the power and authority He would baptize His Church in. To accomplish this, He would pour out the gift of the Holy Spirit upon the Church, so the Church could be the manifestation of His presence on the Earth (Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:27). The same glory and authority Jesus had has now been transferred to all who would believe. These works (miracles) follow those who believe, so the proofs He was raised from the dead may be seen by all who dwell on the Earth (Matthew 24:14; Acts 5:32; Mark 16:15-20). Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the ministry of Jesus is to be as vivid now as it was then (John 14:12, 19, 16:13-15; Acts 1:8). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
