Last night was the first night that I completely didn't post at all. For some reason, I have been extra tired at night which explains all of the typos. My mom corrected me and I felt really bad about not beginning to write my blogs earlier so i wouldn't be tired while typing, but I attempted that tonight. And im trying to stay away right now! Satan is after me. Which is why I absolutely love 💗💗💗💗 chapter 17. Almost the entire chapter is focused on Jesus praying for believers, his disciples and himself.
When jesus did this prayer, he prayed for himself first, then his disciples second and then everyone else after that. You could take as this is the order in which we should pray for people, but honestly I think Jesus spoke to his father first about himself because he was hurting and afraid. He couldn't depend on anyone else to understand what e was going through. Jesus then began to pray for himself. He knew his heart had to be right. This is why he prayed for himself and then for other believers.
I believe he prayed for the disciples second because they were the ones he was leaving behind. He knew their lives were in danger. He knew he was leaving them. But yet he couldn't do anything to stop it. He asked his father to let the cup pass from him, but it didn't snd Jesus willingly went to the cross. That says a lot about him as a person period. Idk about yall but I'm not going to die by going down without a fight.
I'm Not gonna die by walking to the cross on my own two feet and be perfectly fine about it. But Jesus did. He deserves our respect. He knew that his disciples were staying here by themselves and they would be watching for his return. Jesus gives us an example of how he intercedes on our behalf during the majority of chapter 17. Jesus prays like those us on a daily basis. When we realize that he cares enough about is to intercede on our behalf then we will truly be able to understand how we should pray for others. It's often difficult, but Jesus's life wasn't wasted by any means and he is our example. we should strive to be like him daily
