John, Chapter 17

John 17

In summary --

This is a pretty cool chapter. It is often called the High Priestly Prayer. In it, Jesus prays for his disciples. He not only prays on their behalf, but he prays out loud so that they hear him praying for them. Beginning is verse 20, he prays for us -- those that will believe in him!

My favorite verse --

20 "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word..."

Two thousand years ago Jesus prayed for us and it is recorded in John's gospel. Jesus has given his glory to us. We are one with him and one with God.
That's pretty cool!

Something to think about --

God -- the creator of all things -- loves you!
