Hello again YouTube family and a special welcome to all of you who are joining for the first time! In this 17th episode, we will dive into the full chapter of John 17. This is a special chapter as we are able to read Jesus' personal prayer to the Father. It first starts off with Jesus looking out towards heaven to pray, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you." The prayer follows through as Jesus expresses His longing to glorify the Father through His life and through His complete obedience, as well as His desire to have the Father glorify Him in His presence with the glory Jesus once had in heaven before the world began. Soon to follow, Jesus begins to pray for those the Father gave to him meaning; family, friends, and disciples. Here, Jesus lays claim to His obedience because He has followed every instruction to teach them to believe. Jesus' knows his time on earth is short, so He prays to the Father to protect them and keep them from the evil one. That they may be sanctified by His word and His truth. Towards the end of the chapter, Jesus intercedes on behalf of all believers that are to come in the future. He expresses His desire for everyone to be one with the Father, just as Jesus is one with the Father. Concluding the chapter, the last verse ends on this note, "I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

Hello YouTube family, and a special welcome to all of you who are joining us for the first time. Hope you enjoy this 16th episode in our channel, "Let There Be Faith." Here in John chapter 16, Jesus opens up the chapter by briefly letting His disciples know of the troubles and persecution that await. He tells them that it is good that He leaves so that the advocate, Holy Spirit, will come. He let's them know that He has much to tell them but it is more than they can bear. So, rather than going into the depth of it, Jesus makes known the Holy Spirit's workings and how He will operate. Afterwards, Jesus went on to say "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me." By this point, the disciples are left puzzled and resolve to asking Him questions. At first Jesus spoke through parables, but foreshadowing what is to come, Jesus decides to break it down and speak to them more plainly. Jesus let's them know of a few mysteries and actual events that will take place in the coming days and soon enough, His disciples begin to believe more in the words that Jesus spoke. Jesus prophetically tells them that they will all scatter on that day, but not to worry because the heavenly Father is always with Him. Jesus ends the chapter by triumphantly reminding His disciples, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Be sure to like, share, and subscribe for more content!
