As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
- John 17:18 (NKJV)
Jesus often went to pray in solitude, time spent with His Father was sacred to Him.
Before He was betrayed, Jesus prayed for Himself, for His disciples, and for all believers.
In this verse He was specifically praying that the men who had followed Him would continue His work, glorifying the Lord.
He had spent His time with them teaching them, training them, warning them that as they continued His work they too would be persecuted.
Not much has changed in 2000 years, in many nations Christ followers are still considered enemies and there are still countries where even owning a Bible can result in death.
God sent Jesus to this world so that we could be saved.
God brought us into the world to accept Him and share the Gospel.
I think that Jesus might pray for us this way too, that as God sent Jesus to the world, we have also been sent.
We shouldn’t disappoint Him; we should go and tell others about our Savior.
