When Jesus prayed for His church in John 17, He sent them into a world that is, at best, unclear on biblical Christianity and at worst, antagonistic towards it. John 17 is sandwiched between Jesus’ instructions to His church (John 13-16) and Jesus’ own redemptive actions to bring about salvation (John 18-20). Prayer, it seems, is the glue that brings together teaching and actions in a world that does not know what to do with Christians trying to live out their faith.
All of this to say that we are geared up this coming week to minister in the name of Jesus at the Blossom Festival. If you are in town and able, I hope that you have sought God on how you and your friends and family can minister in some way to the thousands that will gather just a few miles away from our location. And now, one more need - prayer! Deep, specific, intercessory prayer!! That will be the glue, the undergirding of all that we do to bring glory to Christ.
