Jesus Said: "I am not Praying for the World"- Is Jesus Praying for You?
Western Christianity has a very poor and inaccurate view of Jesus Christ, as compared to the writings of the words of Jesus, and the writings about Jesus, that are recorded in the New Testament portion of the Bible.
When Jesus walked the earth, he demanded total loyalty to himself, as the Son of God and the Son of Man, even over and above our loyalty to family members.
This is a hard truth for almost all Christians today, who don’t want to believe that Jesus could be so direct and forthright, as it goes against Christian teaching.
Jesus did NOT come to earth to make the earth a better place to live, which is a common false teaching in Christianity.
Jesus came to declare war against the ruler of this world, and he forced people to choose sides. To choose Jesus and choose to be his disciple, is to choose the “narrow path,” and to choose to live a difficult life of persecution and suffering, the same life he lived.
This is very evident also in John chapter 17, which is the record of Jesus’s last prayer which he prayed while he was still with his disciples, just before he was executed.
In Jesus’s prayer to the Father recorded in this chapter, he made it clear that he was NOT praying for the world, but only those who stood against the world and were suffering because it.
He also did not pray that his disciples would be taken out of the world to relieve their suffering, but that they would be protected from Satan so they could bear testimony to the Truth.
