In praying for Himself, Jesus affirms the delegated authority He has from the Father, and the singular message He preached.

Jesus made one request in this unique inter-Trinitarian conversation.

We must persevere in our commitment to Jesus, for He is the final and supreme source of Revelation.

Joseph is told by an angel that the Messiah, Jesus, will be miraculously conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit.

In the message to the church at Thyatira, Jesus admonishes this corrupt church for tolerating the sinful influence of a -Jezebel-, and exhorts faithful Christians to hold on.

As they work our their salvation, Christians must avoid being characterized a certain way. At the same time, they must embrace their true identity and live accordingly.

Believers and the Lord both have a role in spiritual growth.

God completely disregards worldly standards when it comes to calling sinners to Himself and giving them a new identity and a new purpose for living.

Both individual Christians and churches must avoid worldliness.
