Did you know that #Jesus #prayed specifically for YOU in His High Priestly #Prayer in John 17? In this powerful chapter, Jesus asks the Father for 8 things on our behalf: to be kept, unified, guarded, joy-filled, sanctified, sent, with Him, and filled with His love. Why? “…so that the world may KNOW…” (John 17:23) Dive deeper into these 8 beautiful #prayers and how they impact your life today. #JesusPrays #John17 #HighPriestlyPrayer #FaithJourney #GodsLove #ChristianEncouragement #BibleStudy

“Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You, since You have given Him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given Him." John 17:1b-2

In one of the most profound moments recorded in Scripture, Jesus prays for His disciples—and for us. In John 17, known as the High Priestly Prayer, Jesus speaks to the Father not just on behalf of His immediate followers but for all who would come to believe in Him through their message.

In the Old Testament, the priest stood as a mediator between God and the people, offering sacrifices and prayers on their behalf. But here, we see Jesus stepping into that priestly role, interceding for His people, not with animal sacrifices, but through the sacrifice of His own life. Let’s take a closer look at this prayer.

Prepare your heart for #Christmas with intentional #prayers this #Advent season! Dive into this latest post by guest #blogger Elisabeth,

Happy Advent, Friends!

With each year that passes, I look forward to and savor this season more and more. It is a time to prepare my heart for savoring the beauty of the incarnation of Christ and the richness of blessings that His sacrificial life and death have made available to us!

Additionally, the Christmas or Advent season not only compels me to consider and meditate on the first coming of Christ at His birth, but it also urges me to joyously anticipate His second coming, when He will usher in His kingdom! There is so much good and beautiful truth to ponder and to captivate my thinking during Advent. And if I am faithful in applying my heart and mind to this, my celebration of His birth will be all the richer for it!

Sweeter Than Honey: Praying for the Harvest

10/29/2024

6 Comments

#Jesus' mission on earth was so much more than #miracles--His heart was for the #harvest! In #Matthew 9, after #healing the #sick and casting out demons, He turns to His #disciples and reminds them,

What if we spent a few quiet moments with God each morning? What if we were intentional about making time for it? And what if we committed to doing that all year long, only to find that by the end of the year, we had read the entirety of God's Word—His Love Letter to us?

How many times have you, on January 1, resolved to read the Bible from cover to cover in a year? I’ve made that commitment more times than I can count, and I’ve failed more times than I’d like to admit. But a few years ago, I tried something different—I used a one-year, chronological order of book authorship, Bible Reading Itinerary. Did you know that Genesis wasn’t the first book of the Bible written? While these plans can vary, since it's impossible to pinpoint exact dates for some books, the plan I used began with the book of Job. Let me introduce you to Sweeter Than Honey, a book patterned after that Bible Reading Itinerary.
