Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and John 17:1-5; 20-26.
The final passage from John this Easter Season is “The High Priestly Prayer, sometimes called another “Lord’s Prayer,” since we are taken right into the very heart of Jesus where he is one with the Father.
The prayer is in three parts: Glory for Jesus (vv. 1–5); that the apostles be sanctified (vv.6–19); that the Church be one (vv. 20–26).
It is the prayer of Jesus’s hour. John does not describe what the other three evangelists treat—the agony in the garden. The prayer of Jesus here takes place on the way, perhaps in a space just before he crosses the Brook Kidron and enters the garden. John’s entire Gospel is a Gospel of glory.
Pray this prayer slowly, letting the Spirit pray it within you, as you become one with the Lord.
