Author and teacher Heather Zempel says that most people read the Bible like they read a yearbook, first going to all the pages where they can find themselves. In Scripture, that's problematic because we are not the point of the story or found on many of the pages. John 17 is one of the safe places where we can, in fact, find ourselves. Here, Jesus prayed not only for His disciples but anyone who would believe in Him through their message. If you are a Christ-follower, that prayer was for you. Jesus prayed that we would be a unified church making it possible for even more people to hear the message and believe in Him. More than just this prayer, Scripture says that Jesus continues to intercede for us. How empowering! How encouraging! How motivating! The will and way of Jesus included prayer then and continues in prayer now. We can join Him in His prayers and be alive with Him on mission.
