Summary

In John 17, before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed for all believers. He asked for unity among His disciples and future believers, protection from the evil one, and sanctification through God's truth. Jesus desired that the world would believe in Him and experience His love. We can find rest in Him and trust in His intercession for us.

Steve Webb 0:00What a prayer!

Steve Webb 0:08Coming to you from Riverside, California, this is the Lifespring! One Year Bible and podcasting since 2004, I am your OG Godcaster, Steve Webb. It's Gospel Saturday and our reading today is John 16 through 18. I'm calling this episode "Jesus' Prayer for You." This should be the last pre-recorded show for a while, Beloved. If everything went according to plan, I got home last night at about 10 o'clock. But since that's the time I tried to get the show published, I pre-recorded this show. Tomorrow when I'm back, I'll give you a quick rundown of the trip. Before we read, let's pray. Our gracious heavenly Father, how we thank you for your Word, and oh my goodness, how we thank you for Jesus and his sacrifice. I pray, Lord, that as we read today, you would make it real to us. Touch our hearts and our minds, Lord. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, let's begin.

Steve Webb 1:06John, chapter 16. “I have told you these things so you will not be ashamed of Me and leave Me. They will put you out of the places of worship. The time will come when anyone who kills you will think he is helping God. They will do these things to you because they do not know the Father or Me. “When these things happen, you will remember I told you they would happen. That is why I am telling you about these things now. I did not tell you these things before, because I was with you. But now I am going to Him Who sent Me. Yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ “Your hearts are full of sorrow because I am telling you these things. I tell you the truth. It is better for you that I go away. If I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you. When the Helper comes, He will show the world the truth about sin. He will show the world about being right with God. And He will show the world what it is to be guilty. He will show the world about sin, because they do not put their trust in Me. He will show the world about being right with God, because I go to My Father and you will see Me no more. He will show the world what it is to be guilty because the leader of this world (Satan) is guilty. “I have many things to say to you. You are not strong enough to understand them now. The Holy Spirit is coming. He will lead you into all truth. He will not speak His Own words. He will speak what He hears. He will tell you of things to come. He will honor Me. He will receive what is Mine and will tell it to you. Everything the Father has is Mine. That is why I said to you, ‘He will receive what is Mine and will tell it to you.’ “In a little while you will not see Me. Then in a little while you will see Me again.
