“I
do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through
their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You;
that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as
We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and
that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have
loved Me.
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am,
that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before
the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You,
but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have
declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You
loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Yesterday we celebrated that our Lord
sanctifies us with His Word. Today we are invited to bring many to the gift we
have been given the gospel. Our Lord calls to carry His gospel and he prays for them that will know Him
through the sharing of the gospel.
Next week we will begin a journey through
the book by the prophet Jeremiah.
