““My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 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.”
John 17:20-21 NIV
John 17 is a chapter which I felt was given to me years ago when I was in Albuquerque, NM, studying a new technique in art. I usually did not get home until late. I would immediately go take my bath and go to bed. But, before going to sleep I would read a chapter in my Bible. John 17 was the the one that I was impressed to read. I do not know about you, but,myself, I always wanted to know I was loved as much as God loved the Jewish people as well as he love the chosen disciplines. Even though I knew He sent His son, Jesus, to be the lamb slain before the foundation of earth. He, Jesus, was sent to earth to become our way back to God. I knew all of that but I still looked for every scripture in the Bible for reassurance. The above scripture was one of my findings – “Is not for them alone”. Jesus was sent for mankind. He was our “ladder” that Jacob saw leading to heaven. He loves us – all of us. I am climbing that ladder and by His grace will eventually get to the top. That’s what the scriptures relate and I believe in them – and that settles it.
