THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE

Jesus saw that they wanted to ask Him

about this, so he said to them,

“Are you asking one another what I

meant when I said, ‘In a little while

you will see Me no more, and then

after a little while you will see Me’?

I tell you the truth, you will weep

and mourn while the world rejoices.

You will grieve, but your grief will

turn to joy. A woman giving birth to

a child has pain because her time has

come; but when her baby is born

she forgets the anguish because of

her joy that a child is born into the

world. So with you: Now is your

time of grief, but I will see you again and

you will rejoice, and no one will take

away your joy.

In that day you will

no longer ask Me anything.

I tell you the truth, My Father will give you

whatever you ask in My name.

Until now you have not asked for anything

in My name. Ask and you will receive, and

your joy will be complete.

Though I have been speaking figuratively,

a time is coming when I will no

longer use this kind of language but will

tell you plainly about My Father.

In that day you will ask in My name.

I am not saying that I will ask the Father

on your behalf. No, the Father Himself

loves you because you have loved Me

and have believed that I came from God.

I came from the Father and entered

the world; now I am leaving the world

and going back to the Father.”

Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are

speaking clearly and without figures of

speech. Now we can see that you know

all things and you do not even need to have

anyone ask you questions.

This makes us believe that you came from God.”

“You believe at last!” Jesus answered. ” But a time

is coming, and has come, when

you will be scattered, each to his own home.

You will leave Me all alone. Yet I will

not be alone for My Father is with me.

I have told you these things, so that in Me

you may have peace.

In this world you will

have trouble. But take heart!

I have overcome the world.”

After Jesus said this, He looked

toward heaven and prayed:

” Father, the time has come.

Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

For You

granted Him authority over all people that

He might give eternal life to all those You

have given Him. This is eternal life: that they may

know You, the only true God, and Jesus

Christ, Whom You have sent.

I have brought You glory on the earth by

completing the work You gave Me to do.

And now, Father glorify Me in Your presence

with the glory I had with You

before the world began.

I have revealed You to those whom You

gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave

them to Me and they have obeyed Your word.

Now they know that everything You have given

Me comes from You.

For I gave them the words You gave me

and they accepted them. They

knew with certainty that I came from You,

and they believed that You sent Me.

I pray for them.

I am not praying for the world, but for those

You have given Me, for they are Yours. All I have

is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has

come to Me through them. I will remain in the

world no longer, but they are still in the world,

and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect

them by the power of Your name- the name You

gave Me- so that they may be one as we are one.

While I was with them, I protected them and 

kept them  safe by that name you gave Me.

None has been lost except the one doomed to

destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

I am coming to You now, but I say these things

while I am still in the world, so that they may

have the full measure of My joy within them.

I have given them Your word and the world has

hated them them, for they are not of the world

any more than I am of the world. My prayer

is not that You take them out of the world but

that You protect them from the evil one. They

are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

Sanctify them by the truth: Your word is truth. 

As You sent Me into  the world, I have sent them

into the world. For them I sanctify Myself,

that they too may be truly sanctified.

My prayer is not for them alone.

I pray also for those who will believe in Me though their

message, that all of them may be one,

Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.

May they also be in Us so that the world may

believe that You have sent Me.

I have given them the glory that You gave Me,

that they may be one as we are one; I in

them and You in Me.

May they be brought to complete unity to let

the world know that

You sent Me and have loved them even as

You have loved Me.

Father, I want those You have given Me to

be with Me where I am, and to see My glory, the

glory You have given Me because You have loved

Me before the creation of the world.

Righteous Father, though the world does not

know You, I know You, and they know that

You have sent Me. I have made You known

to them, and will continue to make known in

order that the love You have for Me may be

in them and that I Myself may be in them.

(John 16.19-31 and john 17.1-26).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
