John 17 [The Message]

Although the prayer modeled in Matthew 6 is essential, John 17 contains Christ’s dialogue with the Father in Heaven. Here are significant points to consider;

• The splendor of Christ – Jesus shone because of His obedience to His Father in Heaven.
• Christ displayed God’s character – that character is now to be displayed through us because of our relationship with Jesus.
• Christ’s request for our protection – in the same was we are to pray for the protection of those we love.
• The godless world hated Christ – it will hate us too.
• Our holiness through God’s Word – it comes no other way.
• Witnesses – that we would faithfully share the Gospel to the world.
• Gods love – that it would be shone through us to all.
