John 17:20



John 17:20  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; The night before Jesus was crucified, He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He took His disciples with Him and asked them to stay awake and pray with Him. But they were tired and sleepy and couldn’t stay awake and pray. While Jesus was praying, He prayed for His disciples because He knew that soon He would be leaving this world and going back to His Father in heaven. But here in our verse for today, He not only prayed for His disciples, but He prayed for those who would believe on Him some day. And that is us! Here in John 17:20 Jesus was praying for us! What a wonderful thing to remember! Jesus loves us and has already prayed for us. The least that we should do in return is to pray to Him. Don’t you think so?
