Jesus’ Prayer

Jesus’ Prayer

John 17 is powerful. It is an opportunity for us to experience Jesus praying. He prays for Himself, the disciples, and all believers throughout time; that includes you!

In this prayer, Jesus prays for us to live in such a way that the world will know that God sent Him. Does your life reflect that message?

As Christians, we must live an intentional life. Things should not simply happen; meaning when we sin it’s because life happens. No, we must make conscience decisions to live an obedient life for Christ. 

Will we make mistakes? Yes! Will God forgive us? Also yes! This is not a license to willfully sin. In fact, it’s the opposite. It’s a license to seek to live a holy, disciplined life. If we do that, the world will know that God sent Jesus. 

That’s the mission! Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

John 17:22-23

22 “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
