Part 2 - Rejoice

In this sermon, Pastor from Bloomfield Presbyterian Church explores John 17, the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus, emphasizing three profound truths for believers to rejoice in: revelation, protection, and mission. The sermon highlights how Jesus, on the night before His crucifixion, prays not only for His immediate disciples but for all future followers. First, believers can rejoice in divine revelation—God has made Himself known through Jesus Christ, and we come to know the Father by receiving His Word. Second, believers are protected by God’s power, not removed from the world, but kept safe from evil despite living in a hostile environment. Third, believers are set apart for mission—sent into the world not to conform or withdraw, but to proclaim the gospel, just as Jesus was sent. The sermon calls listeners to embrace their identity in Christ, find security in God’s protection, and live with purpose in mission, all grounded in the eternal love and plan of God.
