Today's Verse: John 17:26 (KJV)

Tuesday, July 25, 2017

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
— John 17:26 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Jesus reveals God to us. One of the reasons he does this is so that we can know who God is and what is important to him. Clearly, the most important thing on Jesus' heart in this prayer is that we share his love for us with each other. In this way, Jesus comes to life in us.

Video Commentary...

My Prayer...

Almighty God and loving Father, please fill me with your love for my brothers and sisters in Christ. I want to honor you in the way I treat them and share the love of Christ in the way I interact with them. Please bless me as I seek to be a more gracious child of your love. In Jesus' name. Amen.
