Memory Verse:

“This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3).

When Jesus was in the garden, He was praying for His chosen people, many of whom were not yet saved. He wants us to glorify God, keep His Word, be sanctified by God’s truth, believe that God sent Jesus, and tell all of this to the WORLD. He was letting us know the most important things we must understand in this life. We should develop our God-given talents for earning a living, and have time for sports, music, and art, but our highest responsibility in life is to pray for and be a witness in some way to people of all ages around us who don’t know Jesus as their Savior.
