1.4.26 John 18:24-40

LOOK:

Jesus clarifies that His kingdom isn’t political or earthly, but spiritual, a reality for those of us who follow Him. This contrasts with Pilate’s worldly power struggles. As believers, we live in two worlds, called to prioritize God’s eternal kingdom over temporary worldly systems and values.

LOOK:

This is a good lesson to us: we need never fear the cups that the Father hands to us. To begin with, our Savior has already drunk the cup before us, and we are only following in His steps. We need never fear what is in the cup because the Father has prepared it for us in love. If we ask for bread, He will never give us a stone; and the cup He prepares will never contain anything that will harm us. We may suffer pain and heartbreak, but He will eventually transform that suffering into glory.

LOOK:

There is every reason why believers should love one another and live in unity. We trust the same Savior and share the same glory. We will one day enjoy the same heaven! We belong to the same Father and seek to do the same work, witnessing to a lost world that Jesus Christ alone saves from sin. We believe the same truth, even though we may have different views of minor doctrinal matters; and we follow the same example that Jesus set for His people, to live a holy life. Yes, believers do have their differences; but we have much more in common, and this should encourage us to love one another and promote true spiritual unity.

LOOK:

Jesus is still praying for us! He is our Chief Priest who intercedes for us. Just as he prayed over His disciples before His crucifixion, He now sits at the right hand of God praying that we will be in unity, or one, with Him and the Father. But how Jesus prays for us is a model for how we can engage personal prayer with Him:

  • We should pray for unity among believers and work towards harmony and love within our own church community and avoiding division.
  • We should pray for other believers regarding their needs, growth, and protection.
  • We should pray for those who are spiritually lost. Jesus desired for the world to know that God sent Jesus. This can be a motivation for us to share our faith and testimony with others.
