A fervent Prayer John 17:5-12 Jesus was fervently praying for his disciples. He knew that the religious world hated him, and they also would hate his disciples. He prayed fervently that his disciples would have the same oneness with God as he did. He fervently prayed that he would not lose any of his disciples to the world. His prayers were answered. We have a copy of the works of the apostles. Glory to his name. Thank you, Jesus, for praying for us.
The High Priestly Prayer John 17:1-6 Every work that Jesus did and every word that he said glorified his Father, but the greatest work was him going to the cross to die for the sins of the whole world that people may know the Father and glorify him and to lift up Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy John 16:16-24 The sorrow and the suffering of the cross, but the rejoicing at the resurrection. Peter had sorrow because he denied the Lord, but after he wept bitterly and repented, his sorrow was turned into joy. Judas had sorrow, but no repentance; only regret.

I Am the True Vine John 15:1-17 Israel was also known as God‘s vine, but they were not true to God. The only way that we can bear fruit is to abide in the vine. Jesus puts loving one another at the top of the list. This is how people know that we are Christ disciples if we love one another.
