John 17:26 “I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” Just before Jesus was led to the cross He prayed to His Father. As you can read, His prayer was in appreciation and His prayer was for you and me. The love God has for you and me is beyond measure. His love for us has to be the motivation which governs our lives and which sparks the fire within each of us to be His mouth piece as we live our lives on this earth. All of us pray that we represent Him well.

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.
