Grace Alone Online

Before Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus prayed for his disciples. As a part of that prayer, Jesus prays for us as well. He prays for all those who will come to believe in Him as their Lord and Savior through the witness of the Apostles. He prays specifically for three things for us: (1) that we live in unity, as the Father and the Son live in unity with each other his desire is that we, too, be kept in that unity. For to be apart from Christ is to be apart fro life and forgiveness. (2) Jesus prays for that unity, so that this unity of love which holds Father, Son and us together will give witness to the death and resurrection of Christ, as the Son of God, who takes away the sins of the world. Namely, that we share forgiveness in the name of Christ. (3) Jesus prays for us to be assured of our eternal glory which we share with Him at the end of all time. Hear how He prays and comforts you specifically.....
