JESUS’ HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYER (III)
(Shepherd’s Prayer for All Believers)
John 17:20-26
Key Verse 17:20
|
1. |
Read v. 20. What does this passage tell us about the role Jesus expects his disciples to play in fulfilling his vision? |
|
2. |
Read v. 21. In what respect is this vision a truly “daring” one? How is the world to believe that the Father sent Jesus? Why is this so (Deu 6:4; 1Jn 3:1; Mat 5:14-16)? |
|
3. |
Read v. 22. What does Jesus mean by the “glory” (Eze 3:12; Jn 1:14; 1Co 6:19; 2Co 3:18; 1Pe 4:14; 1Ti 3:16)? How does this glory enable the believers to become one (Gal 5:22; 1Co 12:13)? |
|
4. |
Read v. 23. This passage says that the fact that all believers are brought to “complete unity” serves as evidence (or as a testimony) to the world so they would know that the Father has loved them, just as the Father has loved Jesus. What does this tell us about the work of the “love” the Father has for all believers? What does this suggest to us about the significance of this “love” (John 5:20; 1Jn 4:16)? |
|
5. |
Read v. 24. What does this passage tell us about the “hope” Jesus desires to be fulfilled in the lives of all believers (to come)? |
|
6. |
Read vs. 25-26. What does the statement, “I…will continue to make you known to them”, tell us about Jesus’ on-going work after his death and resurrection? Why does he make the Father known to all who would believe in Him (26)? |
