Gethsemane Prayer

 Gethsemane Prayer

 

John 17:11 『And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name(En to onomati number) those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.』

Jesus died on the cross and returned to the original kingdom of God. The disciples are in the world, and they ask to be preserved in the name of the Father. 『En to onomati su (ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου)』 means to be preserved in the name (ho logos) that you possess. Those who are in Christ, the Word, are being preserved by God the Father. That is why the saints become one with God, and the saints become one with each other. This is the theory of the Trinity.

John 17:14 『I have given them thy word (ton logon number); and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.』

Those who live by the word of Ho Logos (those who believe in the cross and the present resurrection) are separated from the world. That is why the world hates them. The world is ruled by Satan. Those who live by Ho Logos listen to His word and live by His word. What Jesus wants is for the saints not to fall into evil. In order not to fall into evil, they must live by the word of Ho Logos. They must be united with the death of the cross and the present resurrection.

John 17:16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." Those who belong to the world are those who have fallen into evil. The evil of the world is those who love the flesh, and so they love the world. However, those who do not belong to the world are those who believe that they died with Jesus in the flesh and entered the heavenly body of resurrection life. Just as Jesus did not belong to the world, the disciples also want to be like that.

John 17:21 『That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.』 It means that God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the saints may become one through the Holy Spirit. Just as the Father and the Son become one through the Holy Spirit, it means that the disciples also become one with the Father in Christ.

This is the content of Jesus' prayer to God for the result of all the resurrection that would come while he was with his disciples before his ministry on the cross. The content is, "Please make us one." He prays, "Just as the Father and I are one, please make the disciples and all those who believe through them one with the Father in Christ." In Ephesians 5:30-32, it says, "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

Genesis 2:22-24 also says the same thing: "And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Just as Adam and Eve were originally one body, Christ and the church are one body.

Christ is the one sent from God in the kingdom of God. From Adam came a member called Eve. When that member came out, it was not one body. That is, it became two bodies. God said that this man (Christ) would leave his parents (God) and go to the members in the world, and unite with those members and become one, bringing them to God. This word is explained through the apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:30-32.

John 17:22-23 『And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.』

Becoming one with God the Father is the way of salvation. To become one, we must become one through Jesus Christ. To become one through Jesus Christ, we must believe that we died with Jesus and participated in the present resurrection together. In other words, those who are born from heaven become one with God the Father.

John 17:24 『Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world..』

God first begot Christ, and through Him all things were created. Christ, the Creator God, came into the world. Because certain things happened in the kingdom of God, Christ came into the world, which God planned and planned before the creation of the world. This is the secret of the kingdom of heaven hidden from the creation of the world.

There are several reasons why Jesus Christ came to this world. First, Matthew 20:28 says, "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." A ransom is when someone else takes care of a debt I have or something I deserve. For example, when I cannot pay my debt, someone else pays it for me. It is paid on my behalf with the blood of Jesus.

John 17:26 『And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.』

Beware of false prophets and false teachers.

  Beware of false prophets and false teachers.   1. The story of the fallen angel 2 Peter 2:4  『 For if God spared not (Epeisato) the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell (Tartarosas), and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment. 』 Episato ( ἐ φε ί σατο ) means not sparing. Tartarus ( ταρταρ ώ σα ς ) means after being thrown into prison. Regarding the angels who sinned, it is the same concept as the angels who did not keep their positions in Jude 1:6. They are those who wanted to be like God and opposed God. It is because they had a greed in their hearts to become like God. This story is the same story as the incident of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden. The reason why the story of evil angels comes up as the story of the Gnostics suddenly unfolds is because the judgment of those who advocate Gnosticism is like God not forgiving the angels who sinned, but throwing them into prison a...

Of Mary was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

  Of Mary was born Jesus, who is called Christ.   Matthew 1:16 『 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 』 Matthew 1:1 states that this is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham, and begins with,  “ Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, Jacob begot Judah and his brothers, ”  and ends with verse 16. However, Joseph and Mary were engaged to be married, but Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary. It is the lineage of Joseph, a descendant of Abraham, and has nothing to do with Mary. Joseph's genealogy is found in Matthew 1:1-16, Ruth 4:18-22, and 1 Chronicles 2:5-15. However, Joseph and Jesus are not related in terms of bloodline. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and came from Mary, but there is no genealogy for Mary. Why is only Joseph's genealogy listed? In Matthew 1:16, "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ..." Jos...

Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you

  Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you   Acts 9:33-35  『 There they found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, paralyzed. Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you." Immediately he got up, and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. 』 Paralyze, translated as paralysis, has the meaning of stretching sideways, weakness, paralysis, etc. The scene where Jesus heals a paralytic is introduced in Mark 2:3-12, where Jesus says to the patient, "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven you. '" In Luke 5:21,  “ The scribes and the Pharisees were thinking,  ‘ Who is this who blasphemes? Who can forgive sins but God alone? ’”  Jesus said to the paralytic,  “ Your sins are forgiven. ”  We can see that paralysis and sin are related. A paralytic is someone who cannot move on their own, and cannot move unless someone else helps them. The spiritual meaning of a paralytic i...
