Last week we continued our studies in 1st John and the Gospel of John, of the Resurrection, "God is love,"and what it is to abide in Christ, and he in us. We have journeyed into nuances of meaning from remaining (not in a staid sense), to an "in-dwelling" - making our home in Christ and Christ welcome in our home, to Jesus referring to us as "friends."
This week we see more of what Jesus thinks of us, and what he asks of God for us in his High Priestly Prayer for us found in John 17. Prof Dr.David Zersen compares Jesus' prayer for us with part of what we affirm of our beliefs when we recite the Nicene Creed in his "A Fire When No One Expects One," appropriate before Pentecost, the birth of the Church, which we celebrate on May 27.
