I pray not only for these followers but also for those who will believe in me because of their teaching. Father, I pray that all who believe in me can be one. You are in me and I am in you. I pray that they can also be one in us. Then the world will believe that you sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me. I gave them this glory so that they can be one, just as you and I are one. I will be in them, and you will be in me. So they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me.
John 17:20-23 ERV

"I pray not only for these followers but also for those who will believe in me because of their teaching." This passage has been part of numerous discussions in small groups I have led over the years.

If anyone ever says that the bible isn't relevant to them, isn't meant for them, just have them read the passage above. That is Jesus praying not only for his friends, but for us. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was already praying for you and for me. Steve Brown refers to this as "the real Lord's prayer".
