John 17:20-26 The Lord's Prayer for All Believers
He gives us an intimate glimpse into the heart of our Bridegroom
as He converses with His Father concerning us...
He prays for us: preservation
jubilation
emancipation from evil
sanctification
unification
association with Himself
gratification, a sense of beholding His glory...
the details to our destiny are deliberate by design
and He wants us to know everything that we will ever need
to finish our work on this earth
to demonstrate God's will in our preaching, teaching, healing, serving, holy living, etc ... in order to glorify our Father...
as believers we have been given the same:
life .... as Christ v 2
security ... v 11
separation ... v 14
sending in the world ... v 18
union ... v 21
glory ... v 22
love ... v 23
...everything that He gives comes from & points to LOVE...
the same Love of God...Father for His Son...that love is ours...
the same Unity of the Godhead...that unity in the Spirit is ours...
... and for what purpose...
we are here on this earth to bring Glory to Our Father!
may we delight in this destiny that He has prepared for us
may we press in...
in faith
in love
in joy
in unity ~ selah
