A RIGHT DESIRE Thursday July

Text: John 17:24 – 26 Memory verse: v
24
In
this prayer Jesus made for His disciples and would be disciples, He desired
that they should be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the
redeemed might behold His glory and therein find happiness. According to Life
Application commentary, “This request
impacts our present experience and future hope. In the present, we unite with
Christ in God the Father (see 14:6; Colossians 3:3). In the future, we will be
with Christ in eternal glory and enjoy with him the love he experienced with
the Father forever.” This request Jesus made is a clear evidence of His
love for us.
A
young man requested for his father permission to bring in his friend to live
with them. The father said, “Though I don’t easily deny your requests, but for
this, no he can’t live with us.” That is human being for you but not so with
Jesus. He wants us to be with Him as Friend and Brother. Are you working
towards that?
Food for Thought: Are you among those that will be with Jesus?
Prayer: God, grant that I will be among those that will be
with you after my life here on earth in Jesus name.
