6. “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.
7. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8. 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.
9. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11. 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.
12. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13. “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
14. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
17. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
18. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
19. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
TOPIC: HOLY FATHER.
MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we learnt that the Lord is the Holy One. In today’s passage, Jesus, towards the end of His earthly ministry, prayed to the Holy Father to protect and sanctify His disciples by the truth. As God’s people we are holy, because God has declared us holy in his sight through Jesus Christ. Yet, the Bible calls us to keep growing in holiness in the midst of our everyday challenges. In this world full of evil and insecurity, the Holy Father is ready to preserve, sanctify and use us for His glory. Every legitimate son looks like his father. God is our Father and He is Holy, so we ought to be holy to resemble Him.
Are you living a holy life?
If not, change your ways and your actions through repentance and be sanctified.
REFLECTION:
The Holy Father sanctifies.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, help me to look like you in holiness. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH: LEVITICUS 19:2.
“Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am Holy.”
TODAY’S BIBLE READING PLAN: GENESIS 10.
