The Greatest Prayer of All Time

Morning Service
Sep 17, 2017

The Gospel according to John contains the precious words commonly referred to as the “High Priestly Prayer.” Following Christ’s last instructions to the Twelve Apostles and leading up to the hour of His crucifixion, Jesus centers His prayer around three themes: His own glorification, His disciples’ sanctification, and the Church’s unification. His prayer continues to be sweet to believers today, for not only does it reveal the matters of utmost importance to the Savior in the moments before His death, but His requests—made known to and guaranteed by His Father—contain promises to all who belong to Him.
