John 17:20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message.” Jesus talks with His Father. He not only talks to His Father about you, He talks to His Father about those you talk to. You plant seeds. You water those seeds and the Holy Spirit makes those seeds of life grow. It is not just by chance your friends learn of the true God, it is the will of God. Isn’t it another wonder of our Savior that He talks to His Father about YOU.

John 17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” For you and me to be like Jesus we have to know Jesus. We cannot know Jesus by getting our car washed or by buying groceries. There is only one way to get to know our Savior and that way couldn’t be more obvious. We have to search the Scriptures for therein is the absolute truth of life and Life. All of us need to crave learning of the Truth.

John 17:16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.” Jesus is speaking. They is you. I is Jesus. You and Jesus are identical in that you and Jesus do not follow the thinking of this world in its lack of respect for the true God. Man’s thinking does not include —what does God say? Man’s thinking is very self centered and conclusions are drawn based on one’s desires even while suffering dire consequences. Your and my thinking is totally based on–what does God say? That is why we so enjoy studying His Word. Be a unique thinker! Have a great weekend.

John 16:16 “In a little while you will see me no more, and then in a little while you will see me.” Jesus always known exactly what He is talking about. He knew He would ascend into Heaven. He knew He would return. The first happened while the second coming is about to happen. The most important truth you and I can gather from this absolute truth of our Savior is—-be prepared! A lack of preparation could not be worse. Study His Book—know who He is—grow in faith. All of our eternal lives depend on it.

John 16:7 “But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” God had a plan. Everything our God chooses for us is orderly, consistent and beneficial to those whom He loves. You and I need the Counselor–that is our Comforter, the Holy Spirit who lives within each of us. Jesus knew and knows we need help. That’s right–you need help. I need help. Without that help we are lost—and who wants to be lost? Praise God for having the Counselor living within each of us—we can live in the comfort, peace and security only He provides.”
