I Prayed for All Believers

Page 273-274

John 17

Jesus has brought us into the inner sanctum, the holy of holies, the very heart of God, where we can sit at his feet while he prays for us. I am in awe of Jesus’ prayer that brings his followers into a personal, intimate relationship with the Father. Jesus envisions his followers experiencing the very same unity that is glorified in the unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I believe Jesus wants us to be blessed in knowing he prayed for us (John 17:20), and he wants us to incorporate his prayer into our own devotional life. Some of the phrases, such as John 17:3, suggest that John had already been incorporating this prayer into his devotional life before he wrote his Gospel. I suggest reading through the chapter aloud slowly, and make note of what words or phrases grab your attention. Focus on those words or phrases and allow the Holy Spirit to show you God’s will for you in this part of His word.

My Takeaway: Today, verse 17 caught my attention: “Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.”

Sē’lah

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
