The love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them

John 17:13-26

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

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.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.

But his followers will be left bereft in a hostile world. So he prays that God will protect them; that their lives may be shaped by the truth of God's word; that they may display such unity among themselves that the world will be shaken out of its disbelief; and that they may, in the end, be with him in his glory.

Why?

Jesus loves us, he prayed for his disciples and all who believe in Him.

God's word is truth, sanctify them by the truth.

All Christain should love each other and Jesus is in us, may the glory God has given to Jesus may be given to us.

前面3個祈求： 1)父榮耀子，子也榮耀父 2)父讓子得著榮耀  3)門徒的合一

耶穌的第四個祈求：保守神所賜給他的人，即門徒。門徒雖然有軟弱，也是一時的軟弱，除了滅亡之子，猶大，但是猶大還是硬著心，將耶穌給的那塊餅吃了，表示鐵了心出賣耶穌。

不求離開世界，但求脫離罪惡，即成聖。門徒不屬於這個世界，世界會恨他們，所以保守門徒脫離罪惡的誘惑，不受罪的轄制。在世界卻不屬這個世界。聖潔是分別的意思。

如何成為聖潔，因真理成聖，用主的道成聖。

第五個祈求： 為合一禱告，為教會禱告。合一是一個見證。合一的秘訣是耶穌在教會，在基督徒裏面，主又住在耶穌裏面，所以讓主住在我們裏面。領受神的榮耀，生命。

最後一個祈求： 緊緊跟隨主。更多經歷主的作為，更親近耶穌基督。透過耶穌更多認識神！
