John 17:6-12
“I have manisfested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
How do we show the Word to the people God has given us?
- We display His character to them.
- We are His representatives.
- We have His resources.
- The world longs to see a demonstration of Christ that follows our explanation of Christ.
- We live for His glory through them.
- Set your focus on them.
- See the world through them.
- Stake your life on them.
What does this mean for us?
Who can I show the Word to?
How can I show them the Word?
What do I need to sacrifice in order to show them the Word?
