第十七章

20 「我不但為這些人祈求，也為那些因他們的話信我的人祈求， 21 使他們都合而為一。正如你父在我裏面，我在你裏面，使他們也在我們裏面，叫世人可以信你差了我來。 22 你所賜給我的榮耀，我已賜給他們，使他們合而為一，像我們合而為一。 23 我在他們裏面，你在我裏面，使他們完完全全地合而為一，叫世人知道你差了我來，也知道你愛他們如同愛我一樣。

26 我已將你的名指示他們，還要指示他們，使你所愛我的愛在他們裏面，我也在他們裏面。

默想：

1. 慢慢地讀這段經文，記得這是耶穌在為我禱告（「為那些因他們的話信我的人」20節）。讀第二遍時，讀到他們時，將我的名字代入，再讀多一遍。
2. 耶穌在為我禱告這件事，最觸動我的是什麼？為什麼？
3. 感謝耶穌為我禱告，告訴耶穌最觸動我的禱告詞句。用耶穌的禱告為其他的信徒禱告。
4. 在今天一天的生活中，時刻體驗耶穌的同在，而這正是祂的計劃——內住我心中。

 

禱告與筆錄：

繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

 

 

Chapter 17

²⁰“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. ²²I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: ²³I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. ²⁴“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. ²⁵“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. ²⁶I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Meditation:

1.  Read the passage slowly, knowing that this is Jesus praying for me (“those who will believe in me”). Read it again; substitute my name when it comes to them or they.  If needed, read it one more time.
2. What am I most excited about Jesus praying for me or saying about me?  Why?
3. Thank Jesus for praying for me.  Talk to him about the prayer phrases I found most meaningful.  Pray Jesus’ prayer for his followers alive today in the world.
4. Walk around today with the sense that Jesus is in me and that this was always his plan – to be in me.

 

Prayer & Journaling:

Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what he wants to tell me.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
