Devotional Saturday 19/11/16 – John 17:19 “For them I sanctify myself”

15:46 Posted by Matthew Beaney No comments

Jesus’ set himself apart, entirely, even through humiliation and death, for God and for us.
To meditate/pray upon
Read John 17:19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.”
Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
To be sanctified is to be holy and set apart for God. Jesus lived a perfect life and set Himself apart to completely do all God’s will; this culminated in Him going to death for our sin.
His death has given us opportunity to receive forgiveness and new life – our sanctification is only possible because Jesus sanctified Himself In obedience and death for us.
Have you received Jesus as your ‘sanctifier’ in the fullness of the term?
·      Firstly, is Jesus your substitute? Do you live and rest in Jesus’ death for your sin? You are saved by His work alone!
·      Secondly, do you see that He died so that you would, in turn, live for God in an ever-deeper manner?
Let’s be those who rest and work hard: we rest in our unshakeable acceptance, but we work hard to be more and more pleasing.
