Good morning. As You sent Me into the world, I also have
sent them into the world. Again, He did not put us into some kind of shelter –
He sent us into the world where there was possible harm that could come to us.
For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified
in truth. Remember He just said that God’s word was truth. Now a verse that
says something extremely important to us. I do not ask on behalf of these
alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word. That is we He’s
talking about. And why did He ask this – 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. The glory which You have given Me I have given to
them, that they may be one, just as We are one. So this is another thing – Him
giving us the glory – that helps us to be one. What is a major way that the
world will know that what we say about Jesus is true? I in them and You in Me,
that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent
Me, and love them even as You have loved Me. It does not seem like today that
the church is United. Even denominations do not seem like they are united. Why
should the world want what we’ve got, when we are at each other‘s throat?
Father help us to be one even as You and Jesus are One. Help the reader to have
a great day. Minister to his/her every need.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
