John 17:20-26
This is the section (verses 20 to 24) of Christ's High Priestly Prayer in which He prayed for all future believers (if you are a believer in Him, this is what Jesus prayed for you)! What did He pray? He asked for our witness for Him to be successful on earth and in Heaven; for the world and for His glory.
In some of the Lord's last words spoken in the presence of His men, the Apostles heard Him pray for yet-unborn people who would believe on Him because of their witness! He was telling them, through the prayer, that the Gospel would prevail even in the face of the world's hatred and their weaknesses. In the midst of all their confusion and despair, that must have been a blessed comfort to hear. Facing soon betrayal, arrest, and death, Jesus was not discouraged nor did He sound in any way defeated! In future vision, He could behold the faces of the millions of people who would swell the ranks of His current little flock! It was part of the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2)! I hope that flock includes YOU!
