Introduction:
Maybe read then pray and Pause to start? or start with......
I was asked to bring a message from this text today and as I thought about it I could not help but be drawn back to a single simple phrase that got fixed in my mind a few weeks ago in my regular quiet time
Introduction:
On Wednesday when I was taking My Daughter to the Airport, She told me that this passage was her favorite part of the bible.
She said sometimes she has it read to her and it moves her to tears because of the idea that jesus is praying for her.
A while back I was reading in and this phrase stood out to me.
:
PRAYER
In the beginning God created the world.
It was a whole creation.
It was a community.
It was a good creation.
Nothing was fractured, nothing in nature, nothing in human relationships, nothing between God and man.
Everything was as it was intended.
But then, that bond was broken.
When we look around we we do not see anything resembling a whole environment.
Everything has holes in it, fractures, brokenness.
And we find that we, as christians are not alone in clearly seeing the problem.
The Glue that holds everything in place is missing?
It’s Gone!
We find hat we live in a world asking the question?
How did we get here?
How do we fix this?
Wy can’t we hold it together?
Many have theories about the answer to that question.
But all people everywhere agree that we are here in a broken place and that something went terribly wrong to get us here.
Many have theories about the answer to that question.
But all people everywhere agree that we are here in a broken place and that something went terribly wrong to get us here.
As people, we all naturally yearn for the return to recover from the broken fellowship.
It is a shadow in our hearts, that we know once existed, and Hope will, one day, exist again.
Paul, in that statement asserts, what we all know.
Love is missing in the world and we only have shadows and definitions without truly knowing what love is
In leading up to the prayer Where Jesus prays our focus for today Jesus almost, Well Lovingly chides is disciples when they assert that they have figured it out and have “got this” In John16:21
31 Jesus responded to them, “Do you now believe?
32 Look: An hour is coming, and has come, when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and you will leave Me alone.
Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace.
You will have suffering in this world.
Be courageous!
I have conquered the world.”
1. Jesus tells us The shape of Love
17 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:
Father, the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son may glorify You,
2 for You gave Him authority
over all flesh; so He may give eternal life
to all You have given Him.
3 This is eternal life:
that they may know You, the only true God,
and the One You have sent —Jesus Christ.
4 I have glorified You on the earth
by completing the work You gave Me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence
with that glory I had with You
before the world existed.
[1]
Love Gives Life
Life is in experiencing God in His Fullness that we might know the fellowship
His Gift is Eternal Life Defined as Being with God; Knowing God/Experiencing God.
His Gift is to be together with his family again in Glory
Eternal belonging being in God and He in Us.
Eternal Life is not Timeline.
It is KNOWING GOD.
He does not live in the realm of our understanding.
2. The Scope of Love
Concerned about the right things
His Requests
Jesus Knew that we were frail and would fail initially.
() He Mocked the disciples a bit in their certainty of what the thought they knew.
So…
A. What was on Jesus Mind in the end?
Jesus makes several requests in the end but a few things stood out to me…
i. Finishing Well (His Work) Giving Eternal Life
ii.
Protecting and Preserving the Work Began (His Disciples Work)
ii.
Protecting and Preserving the Work Began (His Disciples Work)
jn
1. Protect their unity (internal destruction)
2. Protect them From The Evil One (external destruction) v. 15
3. Protect their Hunger for Truth (Spiritual Famine) complacency v 17-19
iii.
Propagating the work forward (His Disciples, Disciples Work)
1.
That they be one /Protect the Unity (internal and external destruction)
2. so others will believe.
B. So others will believe?
What do you mean by that?
Jesus connects to the Father as the witness and relationship to the truth he hold
22 11
· The Disciples could believe in Jesus because they knew him and experienced him physically and in teaching.
· The Ones who come after the Disciples have the connection to the Disciples as first gen folk.
And with each passing Generation there is one thing that preserves and allows for the witness to endure.
The ones who come after only have the testimony of the word we pass on and the verification of that is found primarily in our lives melding together in unity as we know God together.
Those who are looking at Christian leaders today do not have that recent memory of Jesus in the same way the disciples in the generation right after them dead.
Today, They only have the witness of our unity.
C.
So what do we show them?
Unity?
Yes, but to what?
To what are we calling them to rally around?
i.
There are lots of people who are unified around us every day.
