Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for collecting daily manna), make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Monday, October 29, 2018
Today's Passage : Today's Passage:Subjecta:The High Priestly Prayer[Part 3] Bible Verse:John 17:20-26 "“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” " Message:
John 17 consists of three prayers Jesus said aloud just before his arrest, summing up his teaching: One for himself, one for his disciples, and one for all the people of the world. This final prayer — although not Jesus’ last words, his last teaching — is a prayer specifically for those who had not yet heard his word, for all the people of the world who would come to him through his word. In short, it was a prayer he said for you and me.
Without Christ’s words, we would not know God. As he frequently said, “You have not known the Father; I know him.” (John 8:55) “Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:15) But he promises to include future generations in this knowledge; he tells God, and us, that he will “continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them.” All we have to do is follow his dictate, “Abide in my love.” (John 15:9)
And rather than leave it up to others to pass down his salvation, Jesus leaves a prayer directly addressed for us.
It is like an old man who knows something special, something unique. He knows that he will have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and many generations, who will need what he has. So on his deathbed, he writes a letter to them, even though they are not yet born. He wants to send a message addressed directly to them, so that they will know that his love for them did not die with him. He wants to talk to them first-hand. And he wants to tell each of them, individually, his message, so that they will know that they have a relationship with him.
Meditation : Prayer : May the word I have read, Lord, be planted deeply in my mind and heart. Help me not to walk away and forget it, but to meditate on it and obey it and so built my life on the rock of your truth......Amen |
