We are given...His Word, His Joy, His Truth, His Glory, His Love

(Based on John 14:12-26)

Given
God the Father
to
Jesus His Son
to
us His Children,
who believe
and accept Him
as their almighty Lord
and Savior
and abide in Him

We are given
His joy (v. 13)
His Word (v. 14)
His Truth (v. 17)
His Glory (v. 22)
His Love (v. 23)

We are set apart
No longer united with the world
but sent out into the world

to bring others
to saving faith
in Christ
the Son of god,
having been sent Himself
from the heavens
into the world
by God His Father

to be one --
in unity

As God the Father
and God the Son
are one,
abiding in us
we are one
through God the Holy Spirit

We petition you to witness the Love
that brought God the Father to His knees,
coming to earth as the Christ Child,
declaring to all mankind,

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16-17)
