Acts 22:30; 23:6-11 / John 17:20-26
One of the interesting types of movies to watch is the science-fiction movies.
Science-fiction movies can really stretch the imagination with futuristic gadgets and devices.
But imagination can turn into reality, and we know this happens because some of those robots that we saw in movies have become a reality.
So, science-fiction movies give us an imaginative glimpse of the future.
In the gospel, Jesus also gives us a glimpse of the future.
But it is not a future of this world. It is the future of the next world.
Jesus gives us a glimpse of our eternal future.
Jesus prayed to His Father that those who belong to Him will be with Him in eternity.
In other words, Jesus prayed that we will be with Him forever because we belong to Him.
Often, we pray for what we need and also what we wish to have in this world.
But let us also remember what Jesus prayed for.
Jesus prayed for us to be with Him in eternity.
Let us also pray that His prayer will be fulfilled.
