The Love Of God For The World

 The Love Of God For The World was so great that He sent His beloved Son to be the sin-sacrifice mankind, but Christ's prayer was not for the world, but for those who would represent Him to the world. Christ interceded for His chosen disciples who would lay the foundation for the church who would share the good news of the gospel of Christ to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles, to the uttermost parts of the earth.
 Christ's prayer would later expand into intercession for the whole Body of Christ who would come to faith in Him through the word of their testimony and their faithful witness to the truth. The hour for Christ's betrayal and crucifixion arrived, and so He prayed that we would be united together in doctrine, in faith, in hope, in truth, and in love.
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word of truth and for those whom Jesus prayed, who proclaimed the good news of the gospel to a lost and dying world. Thank You for their testimony that salvation is found in no other name but Jesus, to Whom be all honor and praise, AMEN.
