RE: The Gospel of JOHN

in #reliquary6 years ago

This chapter, many scholars of the Bible call it "the Lord's Prayer", then, the prayer presented by John, which makes the Lord Jesus contains a triple request: - that He be glorified, that the apostles be sanctified and that the church stay together.
Jesus' request about himself is not selfish, because his desire is to glorify the Father, to glorify the Father is to make him known. Jesus would soon manifest as the savior of the world through his redeeming death, those who believed in Him would know God and thus possess eternal life.
Although Jesus does not pray for his disciples to be satiated from the world, if he does so that they may be freed from their evil in the name of the Father, he also prays that they may be sanctified, that is, set apart for the ministry of truth.
In his last petition, Jesus prays for the unity of the believers of future generations, the unity he asks for is not of an organizational nature but spiritual, which would manifest itself in a visible way in the life of the church and give witness to the divine mission of Christ. . The unity of the church would reach its consummation in heaven.
