OUR LORD’S PRAYER – JOHN 17

LESSON 18 VS 17 19 PART 1

Jesus prayed to the Father for His disciples saying, “Sanctify them through Thy truth. Thy word is truth.”

Sanctify means: to set apart as sacred; to make holy; consecrate; to make right; justify.

Jesus prayed that the disciples (and all believers after them) be “set apart” unto God through His truth. They were to be separated from the “world” to serve Him and no other.

In the Old Testament we see that all articles used in the Temple (or Tabernacle) were to be sanctified. They had to be cleansed, purified, and then “set apart” or “devoted exclusively” for the Temple. They were not to be taken out or to be used for anything else.

Likewise, in the New testament, we are cleansed and purified through the blood of Jesus and set apart unto God to serve in the kingdom of heaven. We serve Him and not the world.

Ephesians 5:25-27 says ”…Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for it (so) that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word (in order) that He might present it to Himself (as) a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Sanctification is not simply for the “church” as a whole; it is also for every individual believer. It is Jesus who sanctifies us individually through His shed blood when we accept Him as our Savior, Lord and God. Hebrews 2:11 says, “For both He (Jesus) that sanctifieth and they (us) who are sanctified are all one…” . Also, In Hebrews 13:12 it says, “Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered…” . John 17:19 says, “and for their sakes I (Jesus) sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” Because Jesus was (in the flesh) sanctified, so we in our flesh, and by Holy Spirit, are sanctified in Him.

A question arises that if we are truly sanctified unto God alone, why do we still battle the worldly desires, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life? We will look deeper into that matter tomorrow as we deal with understanding more about it and discuss doctrines and teachings on the subject of our personal sanctification. Stay tuned.

SPIRITUAL BABIES

One of the sure signs of a new baby is that many times they are hard to put to sleep. You may rock them and feed them, and change their diaper, but many times they still cry. This stage changes as a child grows but can be very demanding on the Mom and Dad while they are growing out of this stage. Then comes the terrible twos, the teen years and finally they become adults. Mom and Dad are there but many times the “child” doesn’t want any advice through those teenage and early adult stages. They “think they know it all.”

Often Christians are like this. They go through many stages, but there are those that never get out of the baby stage. They have never grown up in the things of God. They want the sweetness of milk without the challenge of chewing on meat. God instructs us to grow and not be “little children.” We are told In I Corinthians 3: 1-3 “and I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, (fleshly) and walk as men?” The Church at Corinth was full of babes in Christ that had not matured. Because of that there were divisions and strife and envyings. They were like babies wanting their own way. Sadly, many are put into leadership. No wonder there are problems in some churches.

So how do you grow into maturity? You study the Word of God and grow in faith until you mature. Easy? No way! There will be skinned knees through the growth process, and fear of failure, but it must not supersede the growing. A church is full those that are babies, children, teens and adults, in their walk with God. We all are growing and at different stages.

Just like one would not want a child to stay in the baby stage, we cannot stay in the spiritual baby stage either. As one preacher so aptly put it and said, “it is time to grow up!” Think of it like this my friends, when there are mature Christians there will be no divisions, strife, and envyings. Sounds like Utopia, right? Well that is what we should aim for. Be blessed
