My prayer is not for them alone




“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” - JOHN 17:20-23

Go now, and say this loud enough for all Jerusalem to hear.



Go now, and say this loud enough for all Jerusalem to hear. Tell them that the Eternal speaks these words: “I still remember the way you clung to Me in your youth, in the early days of our union. Like a young bride, you loved the vows you made. As I led you from slavery in Egypt to your freedom in Canaan, you drew close to Me. Even in the barren wilderness along the way, I filled your every need.

Eternal One: What happened between us? What could I have done to your ancestors that was so wrong, so unfair? Why would they pull away from Me to pursue the empty worship of idols that has left them just as empty? - JEREMIAH 2:2, 5
