John 17 reveals the most intimate prayer between Jesus and His Father, showing us God's heart through three key requests. Jesus prays for His own glory, which comes through being known and revealed, especially at the cross where both God's wrath against sin and His incredible love are displayed. He prays for His disciples to be sanctified through God's Word, describing them as gifts from the Father. Finally, Jesus prays for unity among all believers that mirrors the unity within the Trinity, demonstrating to the world that the Father sent the Son. This High Priestly Prayer shows Jesus continuing His work as our intercessor, praying for us even now.
