John 17:1-2 (ESV)
The High Priestly Prayer
1 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.
Jesus was given the authority by the Father to judge all mankind and to save those who would come to Him. He is God who has taken our flesh for His own and is doing a new thing by lifting it into the realm of the divine through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit calls out and those who answer are given eternal life.
