“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in
Me through their word.
وَلَسْتُ أُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ هؤُلاَءِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضاً مِنْ
أَجْلِ الَّذِينَ سَوْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي بِسَبَبِ كَلِمَةِ هؤُلاَءِ.
John 17:20
Jesus’ words, "I pray also for those who will believe in me through
their word”, should give us real comfort especially during times of
adversity.
After praying for his disciples, Jesus prayed for all
those who would believe in Him through their word. In a sense, everyone who has
become a believer; a follower of Christ; has done so through the Apostles'
messages. So, Jesus was praying for all the believers who would ever exist. He
was praying for you and me and those He wants us to reach with His message of
salvation.
Knowing that Jesus prayed for us should give us confidence as we work for His Kingdom.
Abba Father, thank You for the riches of Your grace upon my life. Thank You Jesus for praying for me to our Father and
that You are seated at the right hand of our Father interceding for me. Thank
you, Jesus, for granting me eternal life through The Cross. Jesus, please teach
me to pray. Father God, please strengthen my faith and give me peace and
confidence that Your promises are coming true. Thank You, Father, for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant
blessings in my life. Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose
and do infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to
His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in
Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Ephesians 3:20-21
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
