John 17 Unity and the Glory of God

For the Seventh Sunday of Easter, the lectionary scriptures are Acts 1:6-14 and 1Peter 4:12-14,5:6-11 and John 17:1-11. We start by discussing the importance of the ascension of Yeshua and Yeshua's current position at the right hand of God interceding for us. We discuss 1Peter4 directives to humble ourselves, discipline ourselves, and resist the enemy who prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Finally, we end discussing Yeshua's high priestly prayer in John 17 to the Holy Father for protection and unity on behalf of those given to him.
