JOHN 17:12-18:2

 ⭐️🍃🕊️11/21 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️⭐️

[Jesus continues his prayer.] 12 - “While I was with them, I have kept them in your name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] that you have given to me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction [apóleia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition/utter ruin {but “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10}] that the Scripture be fulfilled. 13 But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled within them. 14 I have given them your word [lógos - from légō - speaking to a conclusion - a word, being the expression of a thought, a saying, a common term - sharing a message, discourse, communication, speech, a broad term meaning reasoning expressed by words] and the world has hated them because they’re not of the world, just as I’m not of the world. 15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify (purify) {and make whole} them in the truth. Your word is truth.  {Untruth is like an old  cloth of raggedy holes? Two opposite ‘holeys’! Life versus entropy..} 18 As you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world. 19 And for their sake I sanctify [hagiazó - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] myself, that they also may be sanctified {made whole} in truth.” [1Cor.3:14-17 talks about error and falsehood as polluting our temple - “If anyone’s work they have done, endures, they will receive a reward {they will share in the reward?} Do you not know you are a temple of God and the Spirit {presence) of God dwells in you? If anyone pollutes God's temple..” ..Remember the dude who reached out his hand to steady the Ark of the Covenant? It’s best if our message is holy and not holey..? Death - transplanting into an as yet untilled garden awaiting resurrection “into aionion kolasis” - is not the same to God as to us and the person is hades/not seen, in a state of being gone.}

     20 “I don’t ask only for these ones {jewels, Mal.3:17} but also for those who will believe in me through their word/words {and work} 21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also will be in us, so the world will believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me, I give to them, that they be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me, that they will become perfectly one, so the world will know that you sent me and love them even as you love me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, will be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Oh righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you. And these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onomo - name, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known {the cause} that the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”

     18 And when he had spoken these words, he went out with the disciples across Kidron Brook, into a garden there. 2 And Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
