Given and Gifted

John 17:2 KJV
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

Scofield's Notes on this verse have two worthy pieces. The second of the two is;
"Seven times Jesus speaks of believers as given to Him by the Father (John 17:2); (John 17:6); (John 17:9); (John 17:11); (John 17:12); (John 17:24). Jesus Christ is God's love-gift to the world (John 3:16), and believers are the Father's love-gift to Jesus Christ. It is Christ who commits the believer to the Father for safe keeping, so that the believer's security rests upon the Father's faithfulness to His Son Jesus Christ."

It is a blessing to me to think of being given to Jesus. I stand as one of the Father's gifts to His only begotten Son. Praise the Lord!

I place the first of his notes secondly for my purposes
"Christ's gifts to those whom the Father gave Him"
• Eternal life (John 17:2);
• The Father's name (John 17:6); (John 17:26); (John 20:17),
• The Father's words (John 17:8); (John 17:14));
• His own joy (John 17:13);
• His own glory (John17:22). "
