Bible Commentary

John 17:25

Jesus contrasts the world’s failure to know the righteous Father with his own knowledge and the disciples’ recognition of his mission. It is not permission for contempt.

Memory phrase: Jesus knows the Father

Talk about it: How can conviction and respect for others remain together?

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