Quick Thought: Plenipotentiary

Studying last weeks message for sunday I came across a great quote from Bruce Milne concerning John 3.35: The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

Here is the quote: The mutual love of the Father and the Son means much in this Gospel…For the love of the Father guarantees the Son’s plenipotentiary powers.

Plenipotentiary: A person, esp. a diplomat, invested with the full power of independent action on behalf of their government, typically in a foreign country.

Plenary is also conceived within this word as well: unconditionally full, coming from the connection between two middle english words: plenarius: complete and plenus: full

Something to think about.
