Recap Part One
Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, James, & John to follow Him with a:
1) Pursuit of Him
2) Call to Him
3)Promise from Him
We agreed that accepting the call to follow Jesus only comes from a recognition of the grace of God for us, for we did nothing to earn or deserve the pursuit of Jesus.
Tonight, we are going to dive into the question:
What now?
If we’re honest, that question comes up in our lives.
Have you ever pursued something so much that when you finally reached it, you did not know what to do?
Or you spent many hours and days on a project and it gets done with only confusion on what to do now?
- There’s excitement and a since of accomplishment, but also a sense of “what now?”
I think that same question happens in our lives spiritually.
Since I’ve been saved (become a Christian), what do I do now?
What’s required of me?
As we look into God’s Word, we are going to discover that Jesus actually answers that very question, but in the middle of His prayer to the Father.
God’s Word
John 17:15-20
What is the point of Jesus’ prayer for us?
Answer: Pursue Jesus.
That simple.
Not a hard concept to grasp.
Pursue Jesus.
Jesus desire for His followers is to pursue Him.
From this record of Jesus’ prayer, we can know the goal or desire Jesus has for us.
What did Jesus mean when He said,
What did Jesus mean when He said,
Sanctify - set apart, holy, etc.
This is Jesus’ prayer for you.
What He is saying is to be sanctified in truth, His truth.
This can only happen if we pursue Jesus.
Our pursuit of Jesus is an overflow of His pursuit of us.
