January 17-23
Let's keep praying with Jesus according to John 17 – as he prayed for his disciples, and for us who would come to believe through their apostolic witness. This week, read and ponder verses 1-5, and 24. Then in praying, concentrate on what is first and last for Jesus: the glory of the Father and himself.
Does that seem like an infinitely inflated, self-absorbed ego? NO! It's simply and powerfully redemptive truth and love. God's glory is the perfection of his full being radiating into everything else -- what alone gives everything existence, meaning, purpose and joy.
The best we can want – for ourselves, families, church and world – is to want God to be glorified: i.e. to be more and more known, honored, and loved. So friends, pray and never stop praying this with Jesus.
Nothing is more important for Centennial. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
