(YOURS) JOHN 17

Let us turn in our Bibles to John chapter 17 for our consecutive Bible reading.
Last week we read John 16 and saw how Jesus warned his disciples about the
coming of persecution and told them of the coming of the Holy Spirit. He ended by
assuring his disciples that he had overcome the world. (40 words)
Today we read chapter 17 and see Jesus prayed for himself that he might be glorified at the
cross and that his glory might be restores to him. He also prayed for the disciples and for
those who would believe through their oral and written word. He prayed for faithfulness
which would give them unity and their joy, this would include all of the believers of this age.
He prayed for their spiritual preservation, sanctification, unification and abode with him. (80
words)
Your word count was impeccable! However, you forgot to add an application at the end.
