‏ John 17:19

v. 19: “And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.” Jesus dedicates Himself to God’s will, so that His followers can also be made holy. He is setting himself apart to do God’s will, especially as he prepares to die as a sacrifice for sin. His dedication and sacrifice make it possible for his followers to be made holy. The holiness of all Christians and the effectiveness of ministers come from Jesus’ work and the power of his death. He offered himself so that his followers could be truly set apart and accepted by God .
