Day 9 - John 17 - The High Priestly Prayer Thursday, Jul 7 2005
Uncategorized 5:27 pm
What a day! We started with prayer for the victims and their families from the bombings in London. We don’t know how to pray, but we do pray for all involved…very moving time for our class. The on to John 17
How can one express what is prayed in this prayer for Christ…it is beyond our comprehension exactly what this prayer means for each of us…as we went through it today, line by line, again I was reminded how much we are loved by the Father and the Son, and what they desire to give to each of us. It will take me some time to digest all that was said and all that came into my mind and heart as I sat through this session. As we ended this session I again was overwhelmed with emotion of what this means for me and for those around me…if only we would so live out these prayers in our daily lives…how caught up we are with our small little agendas and how self serving we are…in our small group we talked about what this means for the church and for us personally…we are not sure where it is leading us, but we will continue to walk and to trust in this Triune God who invites us to be part of His Dance…
I picked up the book “The Great Dance” by Baxter Kruger and started to read it last night and couldn’t put it down…what a book! It will take me a while to digest all that is in it. It surely resonanted with me and helped me to more fully understand the incarnation and what it means to us today….also a wonderful way of experiencing and living out the Trinity…good stuff!
Some great pictures on www.jordoncooper.com Jordon, Wendy, Lee and Mark were up at the tower at the airport yesterday while Jerry was working…Jordon took some awesome pictures and they are well worth looking at…
Til next time….thanks to those who commented on my blog…I feel much better today that I am not forgotten!!!
