Good Evening!
I am back! I apologize for taking a break, but had some stuff going on and needed to step away for a bit. I am back and ready to roll, so hang on! :o)
Lisa's tweets from today:
LMRMinistries: Next two weeks: We'll look through the Bible at the idea that God's Word contains Absolute Truth. Good news in a world that needs an anchor.
LMRMinistries: John 17:6-19 ~ Jesus prays that The Word that contains all truth would absolutely sanctify you-set you apart-give you power to live a holy life.
This whole passage in John 17 is Jesus praying for His disciples and ultimately for us. He is talking to His Father - God! Jesus says that the disciples accepted Him and knew He was from the Father. Verse 9 He says: "I pray for them..." Verse 11 He indicates that He is returning to Heaven and they (the disciples) will still be in the world. "Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name...so that they may be one as we are one." What an awesome prayer!
Verse 17 and 18 are key..."Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world." Marching orders from Jesus! God's Word IS truth and we are sanctified by it! We need to live by it! People need to see the Truth living in us - the Truth of Jesus Christ and God the Father! What an awesome responsibility. We are to live in the world, but we are not of this world! Our hope lies in Jesus and eternal life with Him. GO - share the Good News - the Truth with all you meet! You have been "set apart" for such a time as this! GO!
Have a great evening!
