John 17:1-8
(Mason Bramer, Sam Reader, Joe Donaldson)
“The hour has come” for Jesus’ atoning death and resurrection. So, He runs to His Father in prayer, in which He prays for Himself, His disciples, and future believers. This week we’ll look at Jesus’ prayer regarding Himself, which could leave us as readers thinking Jesus as a bit conceited or even a megalomaniac. Yet, we find that His prayer is in preparation of immense sacrifice for others, His yearning for glory is to the glory of the Father, and His wielding of authority is to bring eternal life to the world.
