'Set Apart Unto God'

 The word 'sanctify' means 'set apart' and in this amazing prayer, where Jesus prays for his disciples to be 'Set Apart Unto God' through the truth of the Word of God, He also sanctifies Himself.
 Jesus sanctified Himself to do the will of the Father. He set Himself apart unto God in order to carry out the redemptive plans and purposes that God had prepared for Him to do. He did this so that all who believe in Him might also be sanctified unto God, set apart unto Him to live and work to His praise and glory. Christ sanctified Himself so that all who believe in His name might also be sanctified and set apart unto God, in truth.
 Jesus sanctified Himself to do the will of God on earth for our sakes and to set us an example of how God desires that mankind should live, in total dependence upon Him and willing to say, "Thy will not mine be done." Christ is the perfect pattern of a man set apart unto God, and He sanctified Himself so that we might be sanctified in Him, in spirit and in truth.
John 17:19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Jesus to be our Savior and for sending Him to be our example of how we should, sanctified unto God, should live. we pray that in the power of the Holy Spirit we may live our lives sanctified unto God, walking in spirit and truth, and living our lives in total dependence upon You, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
