John 17

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
John 17:3

I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as we are.
John 17:11

I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that you sent Me.
John 17:20

We experience shared-life in Christ by giving ourselves away for one another as He gave Himself away for us.

  • Does this describe you?
  • Do you tend to view people as a means to your ends, or as ends in themselves?
  • When was the last time you gave yourself away for another without expecting anything in return?
  • Who is God calling to you to give yourself away to today?
