The Love with Which You Have Loved Me May Be in Them

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus, thank You that there is such a divine love, a mutual love, from the Father to You, from You to us, and now from us to You. Lord, we love each other in the Triune God.

Hymn: 117

Today's Verses and Footnotes: John 17:25-18:27

Key Verse: John 17:26

And I have made Your name known to them and will yet make it known, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

Filling the Blanks:

The world neither ( ) nor ( ) the Father, but the Son and the Son's believers do. Hence, the Father loves the Son and His believers so that He gives His ( ) to both the Son and His believers. In this matter He is ( ) and just. In ( ) the Son's believers, the Father is holy (John 17:11). In loving the Son and His believers so that He gives the Son and the believers His ( ), the Father is righteous. (See John 17:25 note 1)

The love here is the love of the ( ). In this love the Father gave His ( ) and ( ) to the Son and His believers so that the Son and His believers can ( ) Him. The Son prayed that this love would be in His ( ) and that they would always have the sense of this ( ). (See John 17:26 note 1)
