JESUS PRAYS FOR US

Passage: John 17:20~26  

Key verse: 21

1. That we may all be one (20-23)

Jesus prayed for those who would come to believe the gospel through the message of the apostles. His prayer was that all believers may be one. Just as Jesus and his Father are one, and just as Jesus and his disciples were one, Jesus wants all believers to be one as well. With all the divisions in the church, we wonder how this can be. But Jesus sees past the petty divisions. He sees all who believe in him, who died for our sins and who was raised for our justification, united as one.

2. Jesus wants us to see his glory (24-26)

Jesus wants all those who are given to him to be where he is. And that is our goal as Christians-to be with Jesus in the kingdom of his Father. We will one day be with him and bask in Jesus' glory-the glory he had before the creation of the world. Until that time, Jesus will continue to make God known to the world.



Prayer: Lord, May you bless all believers that they may put aside their differences and be united as one with Jesus.

One Word: Be united with Jesus
