The High Priestly Prayer, Part 1 – The Gospel of John – John 17:1–5

“The ‘I’ in TULIP”Sermon by Pastor John DeVriesWith the close of John chapter 16, the formal part of Jesus’ earthly ministry has come to a close.  Now, with the opening of chapter 17, Jesus sets his sights firmly on his approaching passion and death.  But, rather than demonstrating a hesitation or a reluctance to face that challenge, Jesus eagerly asks that the Father might join him in those events that they might be glorified together.  Join us as we seek to understand the fullness of what Jesus is saying in these verses and how it lays the foundation for the salvation we share.
