The most awesome prayer in the entire Bible. It needs no explanation. The fact that Jesus, over 2,000 years ago, physically prayed for you and me is just beyond words. Just thinking about it lights my fire. It brings joy and comfort to my soul. It’s something people can’t fully portray in words, but once experienced, they inch further and further away from the pull of this world. Knowing Jesus prayed for me then, only helps me know now He intercedes for me so much more. Those who trust in God have security that the world can’t explain, or takeaway, and it makes us more immune to the temptations Satan brings our way. Believers are no better than anyone else, just better off. Too bad the world can’t see this, it’s the only answer to it’s biggest problem (sin).
20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in Me through their message.21 I 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.22 “I have given them the glory You gave Me, so they may be one as We are one.23 I 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.24 Father, 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!25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know You, but I do; and these disciples know You sent Me. 26 I have revealed You to them, and I will continue to do so. Then Your love for Me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
John 17:20-26
