Introducing John 17

Introducing John 17

I consider John chapter 17 to be like the pinnacle of Mount Everest of Scripture. The truths contained in this passage tower like the majestic peaks of the earth. Why? Simply put, this chapter is the lengthiest recorded prayer of Christ. We have an astonishing 26 verses of God’s very prayer life written down for us to contemplate and pray in agreement with. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to touch ever so briefly on some of the key points of this high priestly prayer. Let me encourage you to take the next few weeks to prayerfully study this chapter as well. Few chapters in all the Bible give us more significant insight into what God wants to accomplish through prayer. Now that’s something to prayer about!
