The Lord’s Greatest Prayer, Part 8 - John 17:24–26
We come this morning to our final look at this marvelous seventeenth chapter of John. You can open your Bible to that chapter right now. We have covered the first twenty-three verses, which leaves the three at the very end. But I want to read, starting in verse 20, just so that you have the setting for that final portion.
John 17:20, “I do not ask on behalf of these alone,” - that is the disciples, the apostles - “but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
