Bible Commentary

John 17:24

Jesus desires his people to be with him and behold his pre-creation glory. This hope must not romanticize death, pressure grieving children, or suggest earthly life is disposable.

Memory phrase: See Jesus’ glory

Talk about it: Why must eternal hope never encourage someone to seek death? You may pass.

Prayer: Jesus, help me receive your prayer with truth, hope, and safety.
