“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message” (John 17:20 NLT)

From: May 28, 2014

Jesus prayed for those that would believe in him both present and future. That includes us! The prayer found in Matthew 6 that begins “Our Father” is referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer,” but really it is the Lord’s model prayer, for he gave the prayer as an example of how to pray. The prayer found here in John 17 is the best insight into the Lord Jesus actually praying. This is how he poured out his heart to the Father. He prayed specifically for us that we would be one with one another and with God. He prayed for our protection from the evil one. He prayed for us to experience his glory. And we know that the Lord Jesus isn’t finished praying for us. He sits at the right of the Father continually interceding for those who belong to him (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 7:25, 1 John 2:1).

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message” (John 17:20)

The night before Jesus was crucified, He prayed not only for the Twelve, but also for all of us who would believe the gospel message.

“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17)

From: May 28, 2011

What Jesus prayed for us. “Sanctify” (make holy, set apart) them. Jesus prayed that the Father would cause His Word to set us apart for special use. Holiness is not so much the absence of sin as the presence of God’s special calling and spiritual life within us.
