In John 17, we see the longest recorded prayer of Jesus. And as we look at Jesus’ prayer, we get a look into His heart. And we see His desire for the glory of the Father, what it really means to have eternal life, what Jesus wanted for His disciples, and how Jesus wants all His believers to have unity. So in today’s Bible study, we’ll look at the 3 main sections of Jesus’ prayer, and then at the end, I’ll give you 5 practical takeaways.
