Are you doing your part?

Now if you think Jesus in John chapter 17 is only praying for those disciples present with Him this night, and not for you, then verse 20 will completely dispel that thought.

[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Note: "I sanctify myself" = I dedicate or consecrate Myself. This shows the meaning of sanctify; not making holy as to moral character, but setting apart for God. The Lord was the antitype of all the offerings, which were holy unto Jehovah. (Companion Bible)
John 17:20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
The branches on the vine must produce fruit. And so the keepers of His Word will continue to be sent into the world by Him even until that final generation, the generation He will utter from His lips just before He says, "It is finished", and breaths His last breath. Yes, Jesus began His Sermon on the Cross, in the presence of the thief who would be converted by it, with the first verse of Psalms 22, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?", and He would speak these words about His elect, who would come in the final generation and "declare His righteousness", His Word, unto that final generation, which is that same generation of the fig tree that He spoke of in His sermon on the mount.

And you know what? They are working hard and they shall finish the work they were sent to do! Are you doing your part?

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
