At the end of Jesus’ priestly prayer, He prayed, specifically … for US! He knew that it would be hard for us to believe in what we hadn’t seen with our own eyes, and He prayed for us!

You of little faith: Is this an encouragement? Or a put down?
The crucifixion is approaching and Jesus’ thoughts turn to the Father — Who loves Him. And now that love is about to triumph as Jesus brings us back to God, saved and set free forever!
Having peace in Jesus doesn’t mean your trials will go away, for He told us to expect suffering. It means we belong to the One who died and rose again and we have His peace.
Why did Jesus tell Judas to do what he came to do … quickly? Could it be that Jesus was anticipating the amount of suffering He would endure? Yet He did it … For you!
Jesus had a plan for His gospel message to reach everyone on Earth. He was part of that plan, but so are you and I!
Piénselo: el Hijo de Dios, al amarlo, eligió ser dependiente. Él aceptó eso como parte de Su sacrificio para hacerte Suyo. Y Él te dará Su Espíritu Santo, para que tú también puedas aceptar la dependencia en el momento adecuado, recorriendo el camino de la cruz con amor y gratitud.
Just what, exactly, can our enemies do to us? God has the power to heal us, release us, comfort us, even raise us from the dead! So where is the enemies’ power now?
Think of it—the Son of God, loving you, chose to be dependent. He accepted that as part of His sacrifice to make you His own. And He will give you His Holy Spirit, so that you, too, can accept dependence at the right time—walking the way of the cross with love and gratitude.
What has Jesus done for you? Shouldn’t you do something to thank Him? How can we show Him our love and appreciation for all He’s done?
