John 17:1-26 - Simon Elliott

Jesus prays for the three threats to the disciples, but before they can get caught up in themselves, he prays that they would know the love of God. This phrase could be heard in one of two ways – given the context I wonder if Jesus means it both ways. Firstly, would the disciples know the love of God in the same way that Jesus knows the love of God? Throughout the gospels, we see the intimacy between the father and his son.
