Episode notes
Security Of Believers Is Divine Gift
- Jesus' prayer emphasizes his disciples' security as a gift from the Father, not achieved by their effort.
- Alistair Begg ties John 6 (all the Father gives me will come) to John 17 to show divine preservation over time.
Expect Cultural Hostility For Proclaiming Christ
- Expect rejection when you proclaim distinctive Christian truth like 'Jesus is the way'; don't be surprised by cultural hostility.
- Begg points to cultural trends and Matthew's Beatitude warning that persecution may come for righteousness' sake.
Use Scripture Daily For Sanctification
- Read and apply Scripture daily because sanctification happens through God's Word, not mere head-knowledge.
- Begg urges practical habits: morning prayer asking God to 'make the book live' before daily tasks.
Prayer requests often include things like healing from illness or success with endeavors. While these aren’t bad things to pray about, you won’t find them in Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer. So what was His focus? Find out on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg.
