Let us take a look when Jesus Prays. We see some very Powerful statements here. Hope and Grace is woven in this Prayer for us and others. We also are given many scriptures on which we can stand upon. We know the Power that is in His Word. We also see, not only His Love for us, but the dynamics of God’s Protection. John 17:11-12 11Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to You. Holy Father, You have given Me Your Name; now protect them by the power of Your Name so that they will be united just as We are. 12During My time here, I protected them by the Power of the Name You gave Me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold. “...now protect them by the Power of Your Name...” His Character as a Shepherd continues to be clearly seen. His Character as our Saviour is without question. We are allowed to get a glimpse into the Heart of our Dear Lord. He knew what was before Him yet, His concern was for His disciples and followers. We also realize that, through His Protection we gain Unity. v. 15-19 15I’m not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. 16They do not belong to this world any more than I do. 17Make them Holy by Your truth; teach them Your Word, which is Truth. 18Just as You sent Me into the world, I am sending them into the world. 19And I give Myself as a Holy Sacrifice for them so they can be made Holy by Your Truth. That we all understand, we are made Holy by the Word of God. Just as God is the One Who makes things grow, 1 Cor 3:6 6 ... but it was God who made it grow. He is the one makes us Holy. As we yield more and more to His Will; His Word, we are changed. All to bring Glory to Jesus. The King of kings and the Lord of lords. v. 20-21 20“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in Me through their message. 21I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are One—as You are in Me, Father, and I am in You. And may they be in Us so that the world will believe You sent Me. “We are One in the Spirit, we are One in the Lord...and they will know we are Christians by our Love.” That is a beautiful song. Now we see Jesus is Praying for you and I. That we remain in Jesus and He in us. So as in His Prayer, that the world may know, that Jesus is the Son of God. He was sent as a Sacrifice for the sins of man. And the world looks at our Love and His Peace upon us. And, desire then seek out just what we have as followers of the Most High King. v. 23-24 23I am in them and You are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that You sent me and that You love them as much as You love Me. 24Father, I want these whom You have given Me to be with Me where I am. Then they can see all the glory You gave Me because You loved Me even before the world began! Oh, yes Amen and Amen. That they see our perfect unity with Him and one another. Until that Glorious Day, when He calls us all Home. Yes, this is real. Remain in Him; hold on to that Hope. We have a reward in Heaven. Jesus has gone ahead of us to prepare a place. John 14:1-4 1“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4And you know the way to where I am going.” That Day will come! Oh Happy Days, Oh Happy Days...
To Jesus goes all the Glory, Praise, and Honor Amen and Amen
