GOSPEL READING: JOHN 17:20-26
This is a beautiful statement made by Jesus in his prayer. He prayed for his disciples and prayed for all those who believed in him and will believe in him. In that sense he has prayed for all of us two thousand years ago (I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word).
In his prayer he tells the father that his disciples and his followers and those who believe in him are a gift from the father. He takes every one of us as a gift. He wants the gift to be with him always (I wish that where I am they also may be with me). He also prayed that his followers should be witnesses to the glory that god has reserved for him.
சீடர்களையும்> அவர்மேல் நம்பிக்கை கொள்பவர்களையும் இயேசு கொடையாக கருதுகிறார். அவர்கள் என்றும் அவரோடு இருக்கவேண்டும்> அவருடைய மகிமையில் அவரை காணவேண்டும் என விரும்புகிறார். இதுவே அவரது ஜெபம்.
