Who gave himself. See John 10:17-18 and notes. The entire earthly career of Christ Jesus, from his virgin birth to his ascension, was to redeem (Revelation 5:9-10) all men. Compare 2 Corinthians 5:14; Romans 5:18 and notes. That was the proof. The right time for proving Christ gave himself to redeem all men, was after he had done it. Compare Acts ch 2. MacKnight writes: "So that, since Christ gave himself for all, it is certainly the will of God that we should pray for all."
