Our scripture today is John 17:26 (MEV).
I have declared Your name to them, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
John 17 records Jesus’ prayer in the garden, for Himself and for us. He asks God to protect those who follow Him and perfect our faith that we might carry on the kingdom work to which we are called. Specifically, Jesus asks that we may know the same love that exists between Him and the Father. He invites us to be part of the wonderful fellowship with the souls of all God’s children.
Loving Lord, You sent Your Son that we might experience the original connection You intend for all of us. Forgive us for our selfish disobedience and raise us up with Christ to life everlasting. Amen.
