Good Morning!Today we are reading John, chapter 17. The whole chapter is a prayer of Jesus. How wonderful to get a glimpse of how He prayed!
Scripture:
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message. . . John 17:20
Observation:
Jesus knows He is soon to be arrested and crucified. In this great time of need--in this emergency situation--He prays. His greatest help for this time of crisis could only come from one possible direction--from His father. In His prayer, Jesus prayed for Himself, He prayed for His disciples, and He prayed for me.
Application:
Yes, Jesus prayed for me. And for you. He said "My prayer is not for them alone (referring to his disciples). I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message." John 17:20 That's ME! That's YOU! And not only did Jesus pray for me, He asked for me to live with Him. Continuing to read in the same chapter, verse 24 says "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. . . " Beautiful Savior. And He asked for me!
Prayer:
Dear Father--I have done nothing to deserve Your love--but thank you for loving me anyway. May I remember each day, Jesus asked for me!
