John Chapter 17

Jesus Christ came into the world to bring glory to His Father by offering the incredible gift of eternal life to everyone who knows Him. As God's cherished, born-again children, we enjoy a personal relationship with our Father. His Spirit resonates within us, affirming that we are truly His beloved children. In His boundless mercy, He has graciously chosen us to participate in the resurrection of His Son, overcoming our sinful nature that once separated us from Him.

We are not of this world; we are chosen vessels, selected and entrusted by God to carry the illuminating truth that shines brightly in the darkness. This light, the truth of God's Word, has been poured into our hearts, filling us with hope and purpose.

As we embody the light of God's Word, we are kept safe from the schemes of the evil one. The truth of God's Word guides us, safeguards us, and allows us to glorify Christ as one unified body, bound together by love. Our genuine love for one another powerfully demonstrates to the world that we belong to Christ. This love glorifies God as a shining beacon, drawing others to the transformative mercy of His saving grace. Let us love one another and shine for the glory of God!
