Read: John 17:1-19(NKJV)
1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,
2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 17TH FEBRUARY 2025.
This prayer Jesus prayed unto His God and Father is the only long, continuous prayer of Jesus recorded in the Gospels. In this prayer, there is recognition of and concern for God’s name, the work of the kingdom of God, and being kept from evil. Jesus voiced the purpose of the Godhead and showed his unceasing ‘intercession’ for us during the time of his absence (Heb. 7:25). Much more space was taken up by our Lord’s intercessions as He neared the end of his labours on earth.
Spurgeon said, “Before He should lay down his life, He girded himself for special intercession. He poured out his soul in life before He poured it out unto death.”We should learn to commit our ways to God in prayers.”Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth” (v.17). This was one of the prayer points of Jesus. The Greek word hagios (rendered ‘sanctify,’ ‘hallow,’ ‘consecrate’) means to set-apart-and-devote-to-God: Whether it be things, or sacrificial animals, or men, for his service.
The dynamic behind sanctification is truth – the word of God read, heard, understood and applied. Sanctify means to be set apart for God’s special pleasure and use. It implies holiness, being set apart from the corruption of the world and for God’s use. The more truth you believe, the more sanctified you will be. The operation of truth upon the mind is to separate a man from the world unto the service of God.
PRAYER:
Sanctify us through thy truth, dear Lord, thy word is truth. Amen
