The Real Lord’s Prayer John 17
The Greatest Prayer Ever Prayed
This prayer concludes what is known as the ‘upper room discourse’ [John 13-16] where Jesus prepares His disciples to carry on the Gospel after His death, resurrection and ascension. Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples and the world.
- Why Did Jesus Pray for Us? Introduction to John 17
What is my attitude toward the world? Am I being deceived by something in the world and thus being robbed of reality in Christ? Am I putting myself into a place of danger that could ruin my testimony, my work, my home? Am I secretly being defiled by the world? Am I creating unbiblical divisions instead of encouraging spiritual unity? - The Glory of God
From the incarnation to the ascension......Jesus completed the work set before Him.
From John 17:1-5 - How Is Jesus Glorified in US?

From John 17:17-19 - Destined To Be One
