The greatest prayer ever prayed on earth was by Jesus just prior to Calvary.
John 17 reveals the spiritual priorities that were in the Saviour's heart:
- The glory of God
- The sanctity of God's people
- The unity of the church
- The ministry of sharing the Gospel with a lost world
In His parting prayer, Jesus poured out His heart to the Father, not only for His disciples, but also for us.John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;Jesus also left His Word to enlighten us, enable us, and encourage us.By the intimacy of the Father in the Son and they in us, we share the victory of God. We are overcomers.At the end of our Christian journey, I trust that we will be able to pray as Jesus prayed to The Father.John 17:4 I have glorified Thee on earth; I have finished the work which Thour gavest me to do.
