Jesus’ Rules for Life | Redefining Truth, Happiness, and Love (John 17)

What if the deepest joy you’re looking for isn’t found in success, comfort, or control—but in being truly loved?

In this message, Pastor [Your Name] unpacks Jesus’ final prayer in John 17—a moment where He records not information, but formation for His disciples. Just like a father making videos for his kids before he dies, Jesus speaks over His followers and reveals three core "rules for life":

Be Formed by the Truth — In a post-truth world, Jesus anchors us in God’s Word.

Pursue Unity That Costs — Unity is more than harmony—it’s a mission-rooted love.

Live Like the Most Loved — Jesus doesn’t just want believers. He wants us to know we are beloved.

We also contrast this with Arthur Brooks’ research on happiness and explore why our culture’s definitions of truth and joy fall short. Jesus doesn’t promise shallow happiness—He offers a fulfilled joy, rooted in identity, love, and calling.

Key Passage: John 17:13–26

Big Idea: Jesus doesn’t just pray for you—He forms you to live as one who is loved, sent, and secure.
