Glory (1 of 4)
Series: High Priestly Prayer
Marion Clark
John 17:1-5
Introduction
Do you know the Disciples' Prayer? You pray it often, though you know it by another name-the Lord's Prayer. It is the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray when they asked him for guidance on how to pray. There is a prayer that truly may be called the Lord's Prayer. It is the prayer that Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His work on earth is almost complete. He is about to undergo the great battle on the cross for our redemption. John 17 presents his prayer to his Father.
We will examine that prayer for four Sundays and then move on through the remaining chapters which cover his arrest, trial, crucifixion, and his resurrection. The great story of redemption foretold ages before in Scripture is now come to its climax. What, then, is on Jesus' mind as he speaks to his Father in heaven?

The Father has already given the Son authority over everyone. Out of that authority comes the power to give eternal life. To whom? Everyone? To those whom the Father has given to him.

Jesus said to them, ''I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but th ...
