Day 9: John 17:1-5
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “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. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”
Prayer Lesson: The first thing Jesus prayed was that He would glorify the Father with His upcoming death on the cross. We learn from vs. 2-3 that Jesus provides eternal life. He then prays that the Father would glorify Him by resurrecting Him after His death. And that, of course, is exactly what happened. We are “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20), which means we are to represent who Jesus is with our lives and with our words. We should regularly pray that God would help us glorify Him in a world that desperately needs Him.
Prayer for Today: Who are five people in your life that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Take time today praying that they may come to know Him. Pray for open doors to be able to share the gospel with them. Also, take a little time to ask God to reveal areas of your life that need changed so that you can better glorify God to those around you.
