Shortly before his arrest, Jesus prayed, “now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17) During this Christmas season I have been remembering Jesus the man, as well as remembering the baby in the manger. In this same prayer, Jesus prayed for himself, for his disciples, and for everyone who would believe in him through the testimony of the disciples. He prayed for me…and for you, if you believe in him through the testimony of his disciples.
