Jesus Prays
And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:26 · Berean Standard Bible
Jesus ends His prayer beautifully: 'I've made your name known and will keep making it known—so the love you have for me will be in them, and I will be in them.'
The prayer ends with the most intimate promise possible: God's own love for Jesus will live inside you, and Jesus Himself will dwell in your heart.
Jesus concludes His prayer with a promise of indwelling love.
The greatest prayer ever prayed ends with this: Jesus promises that the Father's love will flow into you, and He Himself will make His home inside your heart. That's the final word.
Jesus concludes His prayer by declaring that He has revealed and will continue to reveal the Father's name, so that the divine love may indwell believers and Christ Himself may dwell in them.
The ongoing revelation ('will continue to make it known') points to the post-resurrection and Spirit-era ministry of Christ. The prayer ends with a vision of mutual indwelling: the Father's love in believers and Christ in them.
Jesus concludes the High Priestly Prayer.
Jesus ends His prayer with a promise of continuing revelation and a breathtaking vision: the same love the Father has for Jesus flowing into believers, with Christ Himself dwelling within them.
24Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
26And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Read all of John 17 — You get to overhear Jesus praying to the Father. He prays for His disciples — and then He prays for you.
