Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Gospel of John
(New Testament)
John 17
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 I have revealed you[a] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
(End of Scripture Passage)
Here, in this awesome prayer, Jesus prays specifically for His Disciples . He knows what they will be facing very soon, and in the years to come.

Pray for Peace
In the East, in the cradle of the world
Lies the jewel desired of kings
Even though it's just a diamond in the rough
There will come a time when its light will shine
Don't you know, that city of Jerusalem
Is a beacon to the world
It holds the key that opens ancient prophecy
To the sons of grace, it's a holy place
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
And as we part, don't allow your heart to fail
I'll come again for you one day
Keep your eyes looking to Jerusalem
As you rise each day, don't forget to pray
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for Jerusalem; pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem; pray for the world
In the East, in the cradle of the world
Lies the jewel desired of kings
Even though it's just a diamond in the rough
There will come a time when its light will shine
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for Jerusalem; pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem; pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem (oh, you gotta pray)
Pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem (oh, for Jerusalem)
Pray for the world

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
For Christmas in 1963 (I was 11), "Santa" brought me a guitar. It was a huge arch-top with very stiff high action that bruised my hands as I attempted to play it, teaching myself, as guitar teachers were not numerous back then. At the time, the "Beatnik" culture was in full swing, and the Beatles had not yet reached our shores. So I learned guitar playing songs by Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and, of course, Bob Dylan. Unfortunately, these songs came with a load of left-wing political baggage, and as an idealistic pre-teen, I bought right into it. And so, by the time I was 15, I was sitting under a tree in Boston Common, with flowers in my hair, still playing the same songs by Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and, of course, Bob Dylan. Although I loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and had all their records, I had a false notion of music being a conduit for "social justice" and so I stagnated. But, heck...I was staying "down with the struggle" and being a self-righteous purist so, whatever.
Then the "movement" started being insulting to our veterans. I COULD NOT buy into that, because my Dad, a veteran of two wars, had instilled in me a love for my Country and her Warriors. So I left that musical environment, and found out that, in just a few years, the world of Popular Music had left me woefully and inadequately mired in the musty past. Not only did I not know any new songs, but my guitar technique was antiquated and corny. I had no idea about Scales, Soloing, Power Chords, etc. And so, I went to work to catch up. In the intervening half-century, I learned four more instruments, taught myself how to read music, served in Music Ministry, developed music therapy programs for elders with dementia, taught children with Down's Syndrome how to sing rock and roll, built my own recording studio and produced several albums, and now teach part time. I also enjoy going to Open Mike Nites at local pubs and playing Classic Rock songs with my sister and her hubby, and enjoy the company of people my age, doing the music of our era and even more current songs that are still on the radio.
Anyway, last night, my sis and her hubby were the featured act at an open mike in our area. I had gone to this particular open mike before and knew it was a little "folky" for my current tastes, but I went to support my sister. She did a great job and had a mix of current and classic rock material. Then I got up and did some Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Van Morisson, Tom Petty, and some original. Then the other folks got up there. Their guitar technique was quite good, but the did the songs I learned in 1963 Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, but not even Bob Dylan (too Christian, I guess). I found myself cringing with horror, as I realized I was "in the belly of the beast" and that this anachronistic display was a picture of how I could have ended up if I had not discarded that whole "scene" back in the late 60's.
In today's Scripture Portion, Jesus prays for His Disciples. Although He will "leave them" soon, they will not be alone. Jesus sends them out into the world, to be in the world but not of it. They are to be radically changed by The Holy Spirit, and not be content to sit around in coffee houses in the back streets of Jerusalem, reminiscing about how cool it was "back-in-the-day" when they hung out with The King of the Universe.
Incidentally...remember that I said that these guys' guitar technique was very good? It dawned on me that, if you play the SAME SONG for SIXTY YEARS, you start getting technically good at it, but...is that what you really want from life?
Jesus requires a radical change to follow Him. He does not want you to do the same old thing, only better with practice. New wine can't be poured into old wineskins, nor a new patch on an old garment.
(Speaking of garments, it's a good thing I didn't wear my MAGA hat last night! LOL!)
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

We must step aside so that He may do a wonderful work in us. Praise God
