Father, I want these whom you have given me

to be with me where I am.

Then they can see all the glory you gave me

because you loved me

even before the world began!

John 17:24

“I am praying not only for these disciples

but also for all who will ever believe in me

through their message.”

John 17:20

…You will grieve,

but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.

It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor.

When her child is born,

her anguish gives way to joy

because she has brought a new baby into the world.

So you have sorrow now,

but I will see you again;

then you will rejoice,

and no one can rob you of that joy.

John 16:20-22

When the Spirit of truth comes,

he will guide you into all truth.

He will not speak on his own

but will tell you what he has heard.

He will tell you about the future.

John 16:13

Jesus told him,

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one can come to the Father except through me.

…The words I speak are not my own,

but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.

Just believe…

John 14:6, 10-11

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.

Trust in God,

and trust also in me.

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.

If this were not so,

would I have told you that I am going to prepare

a place for you?

When everything is ready,

I will come and get you,

so that you will always be with me where I am.

And you know the way to where I am going.”

John 14:1-4

Jesus shouted to the crowds,

“If you trust me,

you are trusting not only me,

but also God who sent me.

For when you see me,

you are seeing the one who sent me.

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,

so that all who put their trust in me

will no longer remain in the dark.

John 12:44-46

Jesus replied,

“My light will shine for you just a little longer.

Walk in the light while you can,

so the darkness will not overtake you.

Those who walk in the darkness

cannot see where they are going.

Put your trust in the light while there is still time;

then you will become children of the light.”

John 12:35-36

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said,

“I am the light of the world.

If you follow me,

you won’t have to walk in darkness,

because you will have the light that leads to life.”

John 8:12

“For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son

and believe in him

should have eternal life.

I will raise them up at the last day.

…no one can come to me

unless the Father who sent me draws them to me…

Everyone who listens to the Father 

and learns from him comes to me.

I tell you the truth,

anyone who believes has eternal life.”

John 6:40, 44-45, 47
