I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me
and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do
nothing. – John 15:5
Pray
for God to speak to you through the reading of His word.
Jesus Followers
Receive Eternal Life
-
Jesus
says that eternal life is knowing the Father, and the one whom he sent, Jesus
Christ.
-
God
is the source of life, so if we have a relationship with God, we will always
have life.
-
In
what ways are we able to embrace and enjoy eternal life even now?
-
Passages
to Consider: John 17:3
Jesus
Followers are Called to be One
-
Jesus
prayed twice in this prayer for his followers to be one. What does that tell you about the importance
that Jesus placed on unity among his followers?
-
As
followers of Jesus, we find unity in recognizing that we all love Jesus, and
want to serve him as our master.
-
The
God that we share and whom we serve, is more important than anything that might
divide us. If we share a love for and
devotion to God, then we should be united as one.
-
Passages
to Consider: John 17:11, 22-23; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 1:18
Jesus Followers are
Called to be Holy
-
As
Jesus’ followers, the church, we are holy because Jesus makes us holy, not
because we are holy on our own.
-
The
word church means, “called out,” because God sets us apart, or makes us holy,
for a purpose.
-
For
what purpose does God make us holy through Jesus Christ?
-
How
can we maintain our difference from the world, while also serving the world?
-
Passage
to Consider: John 17:14-19; Colossians 1:21-23; I Peter 2:9-10
Praise God for the
ability to experience eternal life, even now!
Pray for unity
among Christ’s followers, so that even when we don’t agree, we will still love
one another and set an example for the world.
Pray for our
ability to fulfill our purpose in the world.
