The Lord is Praying For You

This powerful reflection draws us into Jesus' intimate prayer at the Last Supper, recorded in John 17, where we overhear Christ interceding for his disciples—and for us—on the eve of his departure. The central message revolves around what it truly means to know God, not as distant facts or theological abstractions, but through personal acquaintance and lived experience. Just as a parent prepares a beloved child for temporary separation with reassurances of enduring love, Jesus prays that we would grasp the depth of God's personal affection for each of us. Jesus’ isn't the God of cosmic scorekeeping, but the God who would leave ninety-nine sheep to pursue just one—to pursue you individually with relentless love.
