Jesus Prays for Future Believers:
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the GLORY that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and I have LOVED them even as you have loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me BEFORE the creation of the world.
"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you know to them, and will continue to make you know in order that the LOVE you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. John 17:20-26
