How do we know that Jesus was prepared for His mission?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus was divinely prepared and equipped by God for His redemptive mission.
The preparation of Jesus for His mission is exemplified in His role as the war horse, ready and equipped for battle. As stated in John 17:1-2, the Father has given Him all authority and power, enabling Him to fulfill the task of seeking and saving the lost. This image of a war horse—girt and fully prepared—demonstrates that Jesus was not lacking in any resources necessary for His mission. He received every requisite attribute from the Father to carry out His role as the Redeemer, ensuring that none of His sheep would be lost. This divine equipping is essential to understanding the sovereignty of God in salvation and the efficacy of Christ's sacrificial work.
