“I glorified You on earth, having accom-plished the work that You gave me to do” (John 17:1-11).

The comfort, the commands, the predictions and the promises: the finishing touch to all that went down and was said that night ends with a prayer – the High Priestly prayer. It was like a solid period penned by the throne of God it-self.

Mission accomplished. Done deal. Job done. Period!

How many of us can say something like that in all confidence and say it before it’s even done? Jesus did. Early that evening He said, “In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Now He says more of the same in this prayer. Everything He was sent to do was mission ac-complished, done deal, job done. Period. The perfect life, the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world, the resurrection, the ascension, the heavenly reunion with His Father and the glo-rification – and He wasn’t even out the door of the upper room.

That’s the kind of confidence that instills confidence. His words bolster our faith walk. They bolster us when we’re down and out. Tribulation, illness, financial struggle, insecu-rity, death knocking, aging issues, fears con-

cerning this or that, stuff like that troubles us, shake us up and challenges our confidence.

Another side of it is that our confidence can be misplaced. It can be placed in “me,” in sci-ence, in government, in government figure-heads, in someone close to me.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said recently that the reason for the plateau in the number of people being hospitalized because of Covid-19 in New York was “because we brought the num-ber down. God did not do that, fate did not do that, destiny did not do that, a lot of pain and suffering did that” (World, May 9, 2020).

I can let myself down. If Peter can do it, I can do it too. He did it; I do it. I have a history of letting myself down because I’m a sinner. I’m in the other corner fighting God. Whatever or whoever we find ourselves counting on will let us down for the same reason we let our-selves and God down – sin.

When the dust settles on the Chinese virus,

if it ever really settles, who or what will be standing above it all? Not President Trump. Not Gov. Cuomo. Not science, not me, not family or friends. It will be none other than Jesus.

Jesus is in our corner now and always. But before that He got in the ring, put the gloves on and duked it out with our worst enemies – sin, death and Satan. He predicted a victory. That wasn’t being cocky; that was being confident. That was being who was and who He still is – the Son of God and the Son of Man. At one point it looked pretty iffy. Bloodied, beaten and broken, He was down for the count, but after three days He was wearing the belt of the world champion. He brought us into His corner through baptism and the power of the Word, creating faith and building confidence through the Word. “We are more than conquer-ors through Him” (Romans 8:37). That’s not being cocky; that’s being confident in Him. Brought into His corner we have a share of that belt and all the benefits that come with it: forgiveness, life and salvation. Mission ac-complished. Done deal. Job done. Period.

Members get checksFarm Credit of Western Kansas,

a Colby-based cooperative, gave out patronage checks to its mem-ber recently.

The $3.9 million in checks to farmers and ranchers representing about half of its 2019 profits, were returned to members on June 1.

This checks represent just over 20 percent of the eligible interest paid by members of the Associa-tion, said Senior Vice President Credit, Chief Credit Officer Mark Winger.

The program lowers the effec-tive cost of borrowing for mem-

bers, Winger said. For example, if the member’s loan rate is 5 per-cent, the patronage lowers the net cost of borrowing to less than 4 percent.

Farm Credit makes loans for the purchase or refinance of farm, ranch or agribusiness real estate and facilities, as well as loans to finance farm operations, livestock and equipment.
