John 17

Faith in Christ Jesus : 2 Timothy 1:12 defines FAITH as knowing the trustworthy character and motives of Jesus, and being confident in His limitless promise-keeping ability, and consequently committing yourself entirely to His keeping. We are studying the Gospel of John, answering these questions: 1) What is revealed of Jesus’ character, motives, and abilities? 2) What is indicated that you could confidently commit to Jesus’? THE LORD'S PRAYER! John 17:1-5 This prayer progresses from Christ's consecration of Himself (v.1-5), through consecration of His Disciples (v.6-19), to the consecration of the work and fruit of His Disciples (20-26). Consecration (exampled, but not written here) is an absolute commitment, devotion, and exclusive concentration of all resources and life to a single purpose. We can see Jesus focusing on glorifying the Father, giving eternal life to His followers, and returning to the glory He had before His humiliation. GLORY We normally think of “glory” as either intense brightness around God, or as intense popularity and praise surrounding Hollywood stardom!
