"Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him...I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, and God is only glorified in Him. There is no place for the world.
"Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him...I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." While it is the mark of the sons of God to love as God loves, we are marked out by Jesus as separated.
God and Jesus are one they were one before the world began. He always was and always will be. It always was God the Father, God the Son and god the Holy Ghost. They all have separate duties and description but they are one. Jesus did the work God gave him to do and finished the work.
In the beginning he said let US make man. Jesus said I and my Father are one. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife and they twain shall be one.
Like the Father and Son are one.
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: We must look in to our hearts and find what's there. God can see our hearts, we will before him confess the Jesus is God. Love Love Love
Janet; Ignorance mostly because we are raised in a society where ignorance and the heathen bullies those who are better than them, and so good and smart children with great potential are subdued by fear, because they want to be accepted and fit in. How many are the tragedies of beautiful children lost to drugs and a life characterized by self-indulgence and moral corruption and spiritual laziness!
Disciple, you are right about your comment on Reg. Some do it out of ignorance but some laziness. Even human beings names are not spelt with small letters.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. People today don't know who Jesus is. Jesus is God.
Reg; It should very much matter to you to show the appropriate reverence and respect, and see that Christ and God is capitalized when you write! You can do that by holding the "shift" key while typing the C and the G! However one has or has not enough training and practice to write well; it is important that they learn; and I will always push on that: for it will only be for your benefit and good.
This is the doctrin of christ . Freely u have received freely give .sends his servants out without purse or script etc. totaly by faith , no job . They that have not the doctrine of christ hath not god. His servants are still in every country in the world seeking honest and lost souls. Going forth totaly by faith , it is hidden from man but only will be revealed to lost and seeking souls. No Money
Amen verse 3 the only way we can know Him is by the Holy Ghost Jn 14:17 but ye know Him for He dwelleth with you and shall be in you.Jesus speaking of the Acts 2:4 promise of His Spirit. Romans 8:9 without His Spirit we are none of His.1Corinthians12:3 no man can say Jesus is Lord,but by the Holy Ghost.No man can truthfully say Jesus is Lord until. he or she recieves the Acts 2:4 Holy Ghost
Jesus Christ, ( the lamb) prayed for us to Jesus, ( the Father,) and said I have manifested THY NAME to men. The name which is above every name. JESUS! The prayer was completed by the Holy Ghost who transmitted the message in the Spirit. What an awesome gift.The Godhead complete was at work on our behalf at that moment. I praise, honor, and extol the King of Heaven.
We see how Jesus was convinced that the Bible is God’s Word, which provides the best guidance in life. Following Jesus’ example, we must read the Bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learned
V. 11 - " ,,, keep through thine own NAME ..."; another prophesy Of Acts 2:38; there is POWER in the name of Jesus!! - to keep us in our walk with Him.
"..THOU HAST GIVEN HIM POWER OVER ALL FLESH, THAT HE SHOULD GIVE ETERNAL LIFE TO AS MANY AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM." Notice that He didn't say, that He is the death, burial and resurrection; but the Resurrection and the Life! Jesus did not come to condemn an already lost humanity, to lead them by the hand to their doom; but to rescue, to heal, to make perfectly whole; to save and reconcile and bless!
"I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word." Not all have this Light given to them. Not every one is granted access into this grace. Not for the world, but for "those whom Thou hast given me;" does the Lord especially pray, for all these things to be done in us. WHY? Because we keep His Word!
John 17 is a wonderful outline of the true Church of Jesus the Christ. Jesus prays to the father that his people are to be one as he and the father are one. On the day of Pentecost the were ONE accord. The fulfillment of the law of Christ is always oneness I. Relationship one with another; John 13:34-35.
I think this is an awesome prayer. No one will ever love us more than Jesus. I would truly be lost without me. He is my saviour and my LORD. May I PRAISE HIM all the days of my life.
Sanctify them by the word of Jesus Christ, the living and active word that reaches to the bone marrow of all who believe. Abraham was accounted righteous by his faith in God's word. We must pray for the changing power of God's love to heal sin sickness disease and death.this is the victory that Christ Jesus-accomplished on the crossthrough the power of the Holy Spirit.
John 17 clearly shows us that Jesus pleaded for our case then as he is still doing now before our Father.Jesus extended the love and blessings from God to whoever believes,seeks and acknowledges Him.
Jesus further asks God to bless his followers while still in the world not to take us out of it but to keep evil away from them.
God's love is so manifested by Jesus,Glory to Him
Never noticed before but seems like the first part of the prayer Jesus is praying for His disciples. Then vs 20 stars praying for those that believe their word to be one. . wow does that include me.
Like the Father and Son are one.
