Rf,, MEMORY SELECTION -And now I am no more tn the world, but theae are In the world, and I cotne to thee Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom* thou hast given me. tl*t they may be one. as we are —John 17.11. The voice of the Son of God lifted in audible prayer! What could be more sacred and more blessed? He who had by act and example taught his disciples loving service <Jobn 131. and had spoken to them words of comfort and assurance (John 14- !•>, now prayed for himself, tor them, and tor us. While he spoke most intimately with the Father as his only begotten Son, he prayed aloud that his disci* pies might hear his prayer and j<*u>

with him in it. This prayer is often called the high-priestly prayer of Christ, and rightly so, for here the “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" <1 Tim. 2:5) spoke as "the High Priest of mankind who begins bis as* 'flee by offering himself to God with all his peep>«" (Godet) First we find that he prayed for himself as he spoke of I. Salvation Finished —Then Glory with the Father fvv. 1-5). He looked up and said. “Father." that was all No struggling, no pleading, just the recognition of his own divinity, his intimate and unique Sonihip to God Throughout this entire prayer the same close relationship is found It was not as we would pray "Our Father," "Father." Jesus was the Son of God. Yes. he was and is God. He and the Father are one in blessed eternal, infinite unity. But as he is iq the Father, we who believe are in him. So the poet well says:

••Near, to very near to God, Nearer I cannot be. For in tbe person of bis Son I am as near as he.” This divine Redeemer, who laid down his glory when he came to earth <Phil. 2 7. S) to be a Saviour, was now ready to take up that glory again. He spoke of the work of salvation as completed—for in his obedient soul the death on the cross which was just ahead was already accomplished. Now he was ready for the Father to glorify him even as he had glorified the name of the Father That prayer was answered, and Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven. What a glorious Saviour we have! His prayer was soon turned to those who had believed in him They were precious to him. for they were given to him by the Father. II Out of the World—Then Kept by the Father <vv. g-ll). There is something powerfully assuring to the believer to read the words of Jesus which declare that these who had believed on him had been given to him by the Father They belonged to the Father, and he gave them to the Son. They kept tbe Word of God. and thus they knew the Son as the manifestation of the Father s name. What could be more certain for time and eternity! Note that they were taken "out of the world"—that does not mean that they left this earth. They lived here as we live here, but they were delivered from that evil world power which opposes God. Some professed Christians who find their greatest delight tn fellowship with the Chrtst-rejectmg world had better read carefully here, for it appears that the one who is truly In Christ is not "of the world " These d scipler had to remain in the world 'though they were not of it!) atid they needed to be kept Now that the earthly ministry of Jesus was to be brought to a close, he tenderly placed them anew in the Father's mighty hand. Again we say. what could be more blessedly secure than that! We must note that our Lord had a special interest and prayer for his own Verse 9 obviously does not mean that he is not interested in all mankind He died for them (John 3:id*. But here his prayer was for his own. and In that prayer the world was left out That makes us feel still more assured in him. He. the blessed Sou at God and only Saviour, prayed for me. for you! The cloning words of verse 11 reach out into the third petition of our Lord as he prayed for their 111. l aity in < hrist—Then Testiwaay to tbe World <rv 20-38 >
