    The inclusiveness expressed in verse 20 reveals that, although He was referring to His disciples in particular in verses 13-19, He expanded His intercession to include all the church throughout time.

    THE PRAYER OF CHRIST FOR HIS CHURCH “But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that ...read more

    I’ve always been fascinated with paradoxes. You know, seemingly contrary statements that are nevertheless true. For example the statement, “Standing is more tiring than walking.” is a paradox. Sarah and I were reminded of how true that statement is just a few weeks ago when we had to stand for ...read more

We are prone to focus is on what we desire and how we can receive what we want and need from the Lord. That’s not wrong. God tells us to delight ourselves in Him and ...read more
