I am slowly reading through the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in John 17. In verses 20-23, Jesus prayed for people who would believe in Him because of the early disciples. Now, who would that be? I don't think I'm stretching it to say, "IT'S US."
Jesus prayed then for something we need NOW: Perfect unity among all followers, and that we would all experience and share the Glory of God as Jesus did, so that people would want to know Him.
Then He said something that stopped me in my tracks. Jesus to His Father: "YOU LOVE THEM AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE ME."
Where do you go with that thought? What does that mean to you? I will be thinking and writing more about that soon...let me know what you think.
