John 17:20-21 (NASB). “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”

“Parting Words: Jesus Prays for Us” —by In Touch Ministries:

“Before going to the cross, our Savior prayed for the disciples—and He included us too.”

“After washing His disciples’ feet and commissioning them to go out into the world—not as conquering kings but as loving servants—Jesus shared His intimate thoughts. He helped them see what this task would look like and the type of troubles they’d face. He helped the men understand what “kingdom of God” meant and why He must leave them for a while. He promised that while He was gone, the Comforter would be with them. And though Jesus said they’d certainly have trouble, He then encouraged them, for He had overcome the world.

Can you imagine sitting at that table, eating that dinner, and looking into Jesus’ eyes as He broke the bread, drank the wine, and shared from His heart?

Then, Jesus prayed one last time for His friends. And not only that—amazingly, He also prayed for all who would believe based on their word (John 17:20). Friend, that means you. That means everyone who’s trusted in Him—Jesus was praying for us, and we have His very words. What could be more precious?

On that terrible night—Jesus’ last night before dying—the one thing He asked was for us to remain unified. For us to be knit together in love so the entire world would recognize Jesus in us. It is a sacred invitation, as important today as it was then.”

Words Matter. Read These and See If You Don't Agree

Read every word of this quote, and see if it sounds sane, or crazy. “Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me.'” (John 14:6, NIV) This short statement is amazingly full, and it’s worth challenging. It’s also worth considering. Depth Not Length First of all, consider the first two words: Jesus SAID. The spoken word is incredibly important in the…

‭John 17:20-21 (NIV‬). “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

“Encouraged by Christ” By In Touch Ministries:

“We can live and love like Jesus because of all He has done for us.”

“Be strong and courageous,” the Lord told Joshua repeatedly as he prepared to lead the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Joshua 1:6-7; Joshua 1:9; Joshua 1:18). We, too, are trying to live God-honoring lives in a fallen world (though we’ll face different challenges than Joshua encountered), and we need encouragement just as much as he did.

The reassurance we receive from God does more than help us obey Him. It is also foundational for Christian unity (1 Corinthians 1:10), which in turn motivates us to live and love as Jesus commanded. So, if we are to “be one,” as the Lord prayed in John 17, it’s helpful to remember what God has done for all of us who believe in Him.

Start by considering your own life. If you know Christ, then at some point, you heard the gospel and responded in faith. God forgave and redeemed you, giving you “everything pertaining to life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3). But you aren’t the only one who has received this blessing; He has granted it to all believers.

That’s a powerful reason to live as one with our brothers and sisters in the faith. And over the next few days, we’ll be taking a look at some of the blessings that come from unity in Christ.”

To Condemn, Or Not? The Trial With a Shocking Conclusion

“And Jesus lifted himself up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no man condemn thee? And she said, ‘No man, Lord.’ And Jesus said, “‘”Neither do I condemn thee. Go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.” (John 8:10-11, ASV) The woman caught in adultery is one of the most dramatic scenes in the Bible, and it has a number of interesting elements to it.

Revelation 21: Template of Eternity

Many see John’s vision as a literal dissolving away of creation as we now know it and the creation of a new universe that is yet to be. #Revelation21 #AlphaandOmega #NewHeavens #NewEarth

John begins his oracle with the same sweeping away of creation he announced previously. Compare the two entries: “Then I saw a throne, immense, white, and the one sitting upon it, from before the face of him flew the earth and the sky, and a place not discovered for them.” “… Then I saw a fresh new sky and a fresh new earth: for the first sky and the first earth went away, and the sea is no…
