Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor will continue his verse by verse look at the gospel of John by taking us back to chapter seventeen. When you think of the great prayers in the Bible, perhaps Abraham’s prayer in Genesis eighteen comes to mind. Or maybe Hannah’s prayer or even Moses’ prayer in Exodus 32. But Jesus’ prayer in John seventeen, you’d have to put near the top of the list. The Lord is praying as he prepares for the pain, humiliation and eventual crucifixion. We’re looking at the high priestly prayer of Jesus.

Today pastor Ed Taylor brings us a message based on John chapter seventeen. This chapter is commonly referred to as the red letter prayer, because it consists entirely of the Lord’s prayer the night before He was arrested and crucified. We’re listening to the King pray, and gaining insight on prayer as we are.

Wouldn’t it be incredible to actually hear Jesus pray? You can and today we’ll do just that. The Lord is just a short time from the cross in John chapter 17, and he has just finished addressing his disciples. Now it’s time for a conversation with His Heavenly Father. Oh, what a joy it is to eavesdrop on this most glorious conversation!

We may fail to recognize it, but God very often is preparing us for what’s ahead. We’ll see this in the life of the disciples, shortly before Jesus would be leaving them and hung on a Roman cross. No doubt this was a confusing and painful time for them perhaps the same could be said of where you’re at today? We’re John chapter sixteen.
