Day 7
John 17:1-26
1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you; 2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
Week 197
Day 1 What is the glory and authority of the Father and the Son?
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
Day 2 What is eternal life?
Day 3 According to Jesus how many gods are there?
Day 4 Who do we need to know to have eternal life?
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
Day 5 What had Jesus accomplished in his life?
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Day 6 What had Jesus set aside to come to Earth?
6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you, 8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
Day 7 What had Jesus reveal to the disciples?
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
Week 198 Day 1 What is Jesus prayer of protection for the believer?
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Day 2 What protection did Jesus give to the disciples?
13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Day 3 How does the world see the disciples of Christ?
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Day 4 What is Jesus prayer of protection about?
16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
Day 5 What separates the believer from the world system?
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world. 19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Day 6 What does it mean to be set apart (sanctified) for the truth?
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
Day 7 What does oneness with God mean?
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
How to study the Bible?
Each time we study, we will answer the following questions:
1. What is the truth about God that we learn?
2. What is the truth about us that we learn?
3. How does my life line up with the truth I have learned?
4. Why does my life not line up with this truth?
We will consider all these elements of faith through
1. Prayerful meditation- asking for the revelation and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit
2. Daily review of the truths
In many people, who claim to be Christians, there is a huge disconnect between what the Scriptures plainly teach and what they claim to believe and how they live their lives. As we progress through our weekly studies, we will explore our personal beliefs and actions against God’s Word the Bible
Each week a passage or a section of the Bible will be posted with daily meditations.
The idea is that we will take small tidbits to meditate on and then combine into a foundation for belief and practice. Do not try to rush the process let yourself experience the truth of God.
1. Pray and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you.
2. Keep two notebooks with you as you meditate on Scripture.
a. The one is for any truth you feel is being revealed to you
b. The other is for what I call distractions – the things of life that pop into your head as to what you need to do today. Write them down to deal with later and return to your meditation
3. Meditate daily on the scripture passage – read it at least three times, reflex on it
4. Meditate on the daily focus
5. Thank God for his Word even if you do not feel you are getting anything out of it today.
1 Philippians 2: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
