The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg explores Jesus' prayer for the church in John 17. Gregg emphasizes the importance of believing not just in the name of Jesus, but also in his character and teachings. Jesus prayed for his followers to be sanctified and unified, and to share in his glory. Gregg notes that having a seared conscience can lead to departing from faith, and that Christians should expect to experience both sorrow and joy. Jesus also prayed for believers to remain in the world, engaging with it as ambassadors for Christ.
