The Gospel of John - The Prayer of Jesus

Have you ever had someone pray for you? How did that make you feel? Did that have an impact on you? Jesus did that for YOU! He took time out of His life to stop and pray for YOU. Take that in for a moment. Jesus not only loved YOU so much that He went to the cross for YOU, but He showed YOU He loves YOU by stopping to pray for YOU. In John 17, Jesus knows His time has come. Prior to this moment He spent a lot of time teaching His disciples the last things He wanted them to know before His death. Then He takes this beautiful moment to remind us all it always comes back to the Father and that we can go to Him at any moment with any need, even in our darkest season of life. In that moment, Jesus stops and prays for His current and His future disciples (YOU and I). This Sunday we’ll learn more about this prayer and what it means for us today. We’ll also see a connection between this prayer and the prayer He teaches His disciples in Matthew 6.
