This episode focuses on John 17 to help Christians understand how Jesus prayed to God the Father directly. This model prayer shows believers in Christ how Jesus approached the Father with confidence in prayer. Jesus' prayer also gives us a formula for how to pray to God the Father ourselves.

An important aspect of this teaching is that Christians can believe with certainty that Jesus is the Son of God and that He came from God to offer Himself as a living sacrifice to create a pathway to end the power of sin.

Jesus prayer was to protect His followers as a shepherd protects his sheep. Jesus wanted His disciples to know that God understands the battle between good and evil. God also understands how following Him is directly against the darkness and mission of the world. 

The world, being full of sin and evil, wants to crush anyone who believes in God through Jesus; but Jesus prayed that God the Father would extend His supernatural protection to those who do follow and believe in Jesus as their Savior.
