If you knew that the next prayer you prayed aloud over a loved would be one of your last, would you pray for blessings and safety? Or would you fill your prayer with substance? Not for God's benefit, but for the benefit of the loved one listening to your prayer on their behalf? Steven Curtis Chapman's song, "One True God" points directly at God, and so does the prayer of Jesus in John 17.
Join me as we spend some time in this prayer...one of Christ's last prayers while in a suit of flesh here on earth.
On this episode I discuss:
Read John 17 all the way through. Pull out a notebook or journal and write down some questions and then seek out the answers to record the context. I picked apart 5 verses. Follow my example to continue studying this prayer of Jesus. Don't miss the shift in verse 9 when He starts praying for His disciples, and then makes it clear that He's praying for us, too! Don't miss the desperate plea for unity like Jesus and His Father share -- they not only share perfect unity, but they are ONE.
