They may be one as we are one

John 17:1-11

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 

I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.

Jesus' work is complete, all but the final 'hour'. He has passed God's message on. He has made God known. Now there remains only death and the glory he set aside to become a human being.

Why?

Jesus prayed to the Lord before he come back to his heavenly father for his mission completed and for disciples to belong to the Lord.

Jesus has made known that he came from God, he is the son of the Lord. 

Disciples believed in Jesus so they are God's, Jesus prays for them protects them by the power of the Lord. 

Jesus prayed to the Father to protect them and they are one in Jesus like Jesus and the Father are one.

耶穌兩件禱告

1.榮耀的事： 得榮耀的基礎： 耶穌已經完成父託付的工作。求父榮耀子，子也榮耀父。

   從你享有榮耀，創世前的榮耀。主的名是最重要的。得永生的方法是與主建立關係。根據耶穌的順服，所以耶穌與神同得榮耀。神要藉著基督徒得榮耀，即基督徒行主的道。成全神所託付的事就是榮耀神的方法。

2.為門徒禱告祈求：因主的名門徒可以合一。世界的合一，是強國要弱國聽從他，強者要求弱者來與他合一。耶穌的合一是因為愛的關係，甘心樂意順服而合一。
