Focus Verse
“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:3)
Outline

● Jesus Prayed for Himself – John 17:1-5

● Jesus Prayed for His Disciples – John 17:6-19

● Jesus Prayed for Future Believers – John 17:20-26
Engage
How could we describe God’s heart? If the heart refers to the central part of a person, the essence of their being—their thoughts, feelings, character, and inclinations—then what is God’s heart? What does God desire most? What is His will, and what are His intentions?

While all of God’s Word reveals God’s heart, some passages do so most explicitly. In
John 17, Jesus shares His Father’s heart for humankind and seeks God’s glory above all else. God’s heart for His people pours from the pages of this text.

In John 17, we gain privileged access to a heart-to-heart conversation between the Father and the Son. The words of this intimate conversation within the Godhead disclose majestic purposes too grand for us to fully understand. As Jesus prepared to leave this world, He turned to His Father in prayer for Himself, His disciples, and all future believers throughout history. Jesus’s prayer reveals the deepest desires of His heart: He wants His people to know the fullness of fellowship and unity with Him and one another. Jesus passionately seeks God’s glory and the good of His people. His profound prayer displays the depths of His love.

Jesus Prayed for Himself – John 17:1-5
With His crucifixion only one day away, Jesus spent His last hours with those He loved most dearly—His disciples. He prepared them for the crushing reality of His impending death and departure, then concluded their time together in prayer. John 17 reveals Jesus’s intimate and passionate prayer to His Father for Himself and His beloved followers.

310 | Lesson 22


His Desire for God’s Glory – 17:1
After His sober warning about this world’s trouble, Jesus turned to His Father in heartfelt prayer. Undoubtedly, the reality of the cross loomed large in His mind. Jesus made one
central request of God for Himself. He prayed, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.” On the verge of His agonizing crucifixion, Jesus’s primary concern remained for God’s glory. Every intent, motive, action, and impact of Jesus’s life and ministry sought God’s glory. The same would be true in His death as well. But what is God’s glory? God’s glory is revealed when His essential worth and character are expressed or made evident. To glorify God is to recognize and acknowledge God for who He really is and to respond appropriately. Jesus’s highest priority in life and death was to honor God by displaying His worth and character to the world.

His Authority to Grant Eternal Life – 17:2-3
Jesus elaborated further on His reasons for requesting to be glorified. He recognized that God had granted Him authority to bestow eternal life to all those the Father had given to Him.1
Before the foundation of the world, the Father granted the Son universal authority over all people. Jesus alone has the right to give the gift of eternal life.

What is eternal life? Jesus tells us: “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Eternal life requires more than mere knowledge of the Bible or an emotional experience at church. Eternal life involves a person-to-person relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Individuals who personally encounter Holy God become keenly aware of their own sin and desperate need for a Savior. God transforms those who turn to Him by the Holy Spirit’s enabling power working within them. People who receive eternal life begin living an entirely new quality of life in relationship with God—fully loved, accepted, and in close, unhindered communion with the God of the universe. To know God, the life-giver, in this way allows people to constantly experience God’s vibrant presence—
today and for eternity.

His Commitment to Finish God’s Work – 17:4
Jesus also glorified God by completing the work the Father sent Him to earth to accomplish.

Jesus’s primary work included offering Himself on the cross to atone for humanity’s sin. Jesus prayed with such certainty about finishing this still-future work that He spoke of it as if it were already accomplished. Jesus’s death on the cross would bring God glory by revealing God’s attributes to the world. The cross of Jesus Christ displays the pinnacle of God’s perfect justice, righteousness, holiness, sovereignty, wisdom, and love.

His Longing to Return to the Father – 17:5
Jesus’s final prayer request for Himself reveals His longing to return to His Father. He prayed,
“Glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” God the Son had possessed the full glory of the Trinity equally with the Father and the Spirit since before 1. Authority given: Matthew 28:18-19; John 17:2, 6, 9, 24

creation.2 The Son does not and cannot change. He is eternal God. At His incarnation, Jesus voluntarily took upon Himself full humanity without compromising His deity. He did not cling to His divine rights and exalted position when He entered this world as Jesus of Nazareth—fully man and fully God forever.3
As Jesus’s work on earth neared completion, He eagerly anticipated His return to the Father.

Jesus would return not only as God but also as glorified man—forever. Today Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father,4 interceding on our behalf.5
Jesus Prayed for His Disciples – John 17:6-19
The remainder of Jesus’s prayer focused on His followers. First He prayed for His disciples.

Then He prayed for all future believers throughout history, which includes you if you have trusted in Christ. While on earth and now from heaven, Jesus tenderly carries His own in His heart. He knows and loves all whom the Father has given to Him. Jesus “always lives to intercede” on behalf of every believer.6
The Ones Jesus Loves – 17:6-10
People Given by the Father – 17:6
Before praying specific requests for His disciples, Jesus affirmed four truths about them.


● They belonged to the Father.


● The Father gave them to Him.


● He revealed the Father to them.


● They obeyed His Word.

Jesus placed infinite worth on His disciples because they were a gift from His loving Father.

He sets the same value on everyone who comes to Him for salvation.

People of Confident Faith – 17:7-8
Jesus reiterated the certainty that His disciples belonged to Him. Jesus revealed God and His words to them throughout their time together. Without a doubt, the disciples belonged to Jesus because they heard God’s words, believed, and obeyed.

God’s living and active words7 arise from His authority as Creator of the universe. Only His words are powerful enough to save.8 Like the disciples, all who hear God’s words and actively believe in Christ have the confident assurance of eternal life.

2. Equal with Father and Spirit: Genesis 1:1-2; John 1:1-2
3. Jesus’s condescension: Philippians 2:6-11
4. Sits at the right hand of the Father: Mark 16:19; Hebrews 1:3; 10:12; 12:2
5. Interceding on our behalf: Romans 8:34
6. Lives to intercede: Hebrews 7:25
7. Living and active: Hebrews 4:12
8. God’s words powerful to save: 1 Peter 1:23
312 | Lesson 22


People Who Bring Him Glory – 17:9-10
Jesus clarified further that the disciples for whom He prayed belonged to His Father—not to this world. He also declared, “Glory has come to me through them.” How had the disciples glorified Jesus? They simply believed Jesus was who He said He was—the Messiah, the Son of God. Two thousand years later, God continues to draw people to Himself through the disciples’
testimony. How wonderful to realize that when we believe in Jesus, we can give God glory, sinful though we are. Jesus values us not for what we do but for what He has done and will do in and through us. Jesus not only accepts those who believe in Him but considers them His treasured and precious possession.

The Requests Jesus Prayed – 17:11-19

and precious

Protection – 17:11-16
First Jesus prayed for His disciples’ protection. He prayed specifically that the Father would protect them by the power of His name. “God’s name” speaks of the sum of God’s attributes—
everything Scripture reveals about His beautiful character. Jesus placed His friends into the care of God’s powerful name.

Jesus prayed for His disciples’ protection so that they might be one, even as He and His Father are one. Their unity would form the bond of their safekeeping. The thought of oneness runs throughout Jesus’s prayer. However, true Christian unity is not uniformity. Jesus did not pray that His followers would dress the same, enjoy the same music, or support the same
political leaders. The organic bond of Christian unity is rooted in Jesus Himself and represents a defining mark of His Church. Believers are members of one body, indwelt by one Spirit, and called to one hope and one faith under the leadership of one Lord—Christ Jesus.9
Jesus prayed for His disciples’ protection from sin and Satan—this world’s gravest dangers.

Jesus did not ask the Father to remove them from the world, where sin and Satan run rampant.

In fact, Jesus’s prayer assumes His people will be engaged to live effectively in the world rather than isolated from it. God strategically positions believers to shine His light into the world.10
God leaves His beloved children in a hostile world because He loves that world. Sin and Satan remain real, present threats to heaven’s citizens while they are living on earth. Satan strives to limit the impact of God’s people by creating disunity and eroding their faith. However, God securely holds and keeps His loved ones firm in Christ until the very end.11
We cannot conquer Satan’s subtle and conniving strategies on our own. God’s sufficient grace sustains the loving loyalty of His children to Him and one another. If you are a believer, you can 9. Christian unity: Ephesians 4:3-6
10. Shining light: Matthew 5:16
11. Kept in Christ: John 10:29; Ephesians 1:13-14; Philippians 1:6; 2 Timothy 1:12
Bible Study Fellowship | 313
trust God for the power to faithfully obey His Word. God has made Himself responsible for keeping a believer’s faith in Christ immovably firm. We may struggle with doubt while navigating life in this world, but every believer remains eternally safe in Christ.12
Sanctification – 17:17-19
Second, Jesus prayed for His disciples’ sanctification. With great clarity, Jesus pronounced,
“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” The truth God has declared in His Word sanctifies or sets God’s people apart to love and seek Him. God’s Word teaches, rebukes, corrects, and trains in righteousness, equipping believers to serve God and others.13 Just as the Father sent Jesus into the world, Jesus now sent His disciples into the world.

The disciples needed the Holy Spirit’s power in their lives to see others come to faith in Christ.

God works within His people all that He requires of His people. By God’s grace and the Spirit’s enabling, the disciples would grow in personal holiness. Sanctified by God and His truth, the gospel would go out to the world.

Jesus Prayed for Future Believers – John 17:20-28
Finally, Jesus prayed for all future believers throughout history. Just as He had prayed for His disciples, Jesus made two requests of the Father for all believers.

The Requests within Jesus’s Prayer – 17:20-24
Unity – 17:21-23
Jesus prayed that all believers—past, present, and future—would be one. True Christian unity cuts across time, space, and perceived human barriers. Believers in the 21st century unite in heart and faith with the likes of Peter, John, and all of Jesus’s first-century disciples. Eternal cords unite believers to Christ and bind them to one another. Jesus concluded that this
oneness expressed among believers would cause the world to know Him and His love for all people. The unity God intends for His people should be sought, protected, and preserved for the sake of the Church’s witness to a watching world.

Eternal Fellowship with Jesus – 17:24
Jesus began His prayer in verse 1 with a request for God’s glory. His final request expressed a similar desire: “I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me.” Jesus’s final request before His crucifixion—essentially His last will and testament—was to be with His children and for them to see His glory. This verse depicts the only recorded time Jesus used the phrase “I want” with His Father. Jesus’s heart’s desire is to be with those who belong to Him. And as John later wrote, when we see Him, “we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”14
12. Safe in Christ: Romans 8:1, 38-39
13. God’s Word: Psalm 119; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
14. See Him as He is: 1 John 3:2
314 | Lesson 22
Personal Conversation with Almighty God
The Doctrine of Prayer
We often complicate the idea of prayer. Does God expect perfect words, a serene setting, a strategically planned list, or a scheduled appointment when we pray? What if we are
struggling to know what to say, fighting a bad attitude, or battling temptation? Most simply, prayer is talking with God. The God who knows everything listens to what we tell Him. The God who cannot be contained by space or time meets us wherever we are. The God of all
power hears us and can help us. Because of Jesus’s sacrifice, every believer enjoys open access to God and a restored relationship with Him. We can talk to God in prayer, and He wants to hear from us. How amazing!

When we pray, all three persons of the Godhead participate. We pray to God the Father1
through the Lord Jesus Christ and because of His atoning sacrifice.2 We pray to and through Jesus, who lived as a man and understands our weaknesses, though He never sinned.3
Amazingly, Jesus remains at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.4 Our prayers are also offered through the power of the Holy Spirit.5 In fact, when we do not know what to pray or lack the strength to even speak, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.6 We call on the Holy Spirit to fill us with God’s power when we struggle, and we seek the Spirit’s illumination as we study Scripture. God’s presence and power work on behalf of His people when they pray.

What is lost in this life if we ignore or reject God’s gift of prayer? When we fail to pray, we fail to believe that God cares, listens, or can do anything to help us. We disregard who He has revealed Himself to be. Without deliberate words that pierce through this world’s cares to reach for heaven’s hope, we are left with only short-term solutions and a limited perspective on life. Without talking and listening to God, a million confusing voices echo around us. We miss the opportunity to seek truth from our Creator, the author of truth.

We bow before a God who knows our struggles and cares about us. He hears us when we
pray. He has the power and purpose to accomplish the greatest good in every situation.

Prayer puts a believer in the posture of seeking God and recognizing His exalted status.

God does not seek our eloquence—He longs for our hearts. If Jesus, God’s Son, regularly sought time alone to speak with His Father, shouldn’t we?

1. Prayer to the Father: Ephesians 1:17; 3:14
2. Prayer through the Son: Romans 1:8; 5:1-2; Colossians 3:17
3. Jesus understands our weakness: Hebrews 2:17; 4:15; Acts 7:59
4. Jesus’s intercession: Romans 8:34
5. Prayer through the Spirit: Ephesians 6:18; Jude 1:20
6. Spirit’s intercession: Romans 8:26-27
Bible Study Fellowship | 315
The Resolve Behind Jesus’s Prayer – 17:25-26
Jesus concluded His prayer with a summary. Jesus and His followers know the Father.

However, the world cannot know the Father apart from knowing Jesus. Jesus Christ is the only way to God.15 He came to earth to make the Father known. By His indwelling Holy Spirit working in and through every believer, He will continue to make the Father known. Why? Jesus prayed,
“in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” Love represents the defining mark of Jesus’s followers. The intimate love that unites the Father and the Son extends to all believers as God pours out His love in our hearts through His Spirit.16 Our awareness of God’s love displays the highest answer to Jesus’s prayer for us.

Jesus’s prayer revealed His heart for God and His people. He did not pray for His own safety or comfort. Jesus’s prayer revealed His highest priorities. He remained steadfast in His desire to obey His Father and protect His people. Jesus passionately seeks God’s glory and the good of His people. No higher calling exists than experiencing His love and sharing it with others.

Take to Heart
Hold Fast
On the night before His death, Jesus prayed with His disciples. Jesus’s prayer revealed the deepest desires of His heart. He first prayed for Himself as He asked God that His glory would radiate through Jesus’s life and death. Jesus’s mission on earth was to reveal God’s glory so that people might know, believe in, and share eternal life with Him. As Jesus anticipated His return to His Father’s presence, He prayed that the Father would restore to Him the glory He had before the world began. Passion for God’s glory resonated as Jesus’s deep prayer.

After Jesus prayed for Himself, He prayed for His disciples. Though Jesus would return to the Father, His disciples would remain in the world as His witnesses. Jesus prayed for their protection, unity, and sanctification. Jesus also prayed for all future believers throughout history.

He prayed for unity to define His people so that the world might see and know Him. Ultimately, Jesus’s deepest desire for His people was that they be with Him and see His glory.

Apply It
Prayer played an integral role in Jesus’s life and ministry. If Jesus, being fully God, felt the need to pray, how much more should we? Does prayer permeate your daily life and all that you do? To the Christian, prayer should be like breathing is to the body—continual and essential for life. The Bible exhorts us to “pray continually.”17 We fulfill this command as we live in moment-by-moment awareness that God is with us and actively involved in our thoughts, actions, and experiences.

Prayer can and should be our first response, no matter the situation. When we pray continually, we live in continuous dependence on God and grow in fellowship with Him. What a profound privilege!

15. Only way: John 14:6
16. Love through His Spirit: Romans 5:5
17. Pray without ceasing: 1 Thessalonians 5:17
316 | Lesson 22
Our prayers often reveal our heart’s deepest desires. Jesus’s prayer confirmed that, above all, He desired God’s glory and the good of His people. What do your prayers reveal about what really matters to you? Do your prayers most often revolve around your life—your dreams, ambitions, health, wealth, and comfort? We can and should pray for ourselves, but the gift of prayer involves so much more than giving God a list of what we think we want or need. Do your prayers focus mainly on what you want from God or what God wants for you? Though we pray imperfectly, our hearts can align with God’s as we pray. Lord, help us passionately desire what you want us to have!

As His crucifixion approached, Jesus prayed, “Father, the hour has come.

Though we pray
Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.” In the face of death, Jesus’s

endure any loss with faith in God’s purposes for our good.18 How might you
glorify God amidst the pains of life? God is glorified whenever we value Him more than our personal comfort. Jesus’s prayer for God’s glory sets an example for us no matter what life circumstances we experience.

If you are a believer, do you realize that Jesus prayed for you through this prayer? The Son of God had you on His mind and in His heart when He declared, “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. ... Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” Jesus loves all who belong to Him, and that includes you. He prayed for you the night before His crucifixion, and He continues to pray for you today.19 This awesome truth should inspire wonder in the hearts of all Jesus’s beloved children. How are you encouraged to know Jesus is praying for you right now?

Through His prayer, Jesus asked two things of and for believers. First, He prayed for their unity, which will shine as a bright beacon into the dark world. As God’s people express the unity He has given them, the world will take notice. Second, Jesus prayed that believers will engage in the world while seeking and resting in God’s protection. Does the world’s darkness tempt you to retreat to a safe place? How would God have you trust Him to uphold and protect you as you seek to develop relationships with the people around you? How well do you know your neighbors? Might God lead you to invest time and energy in a co-worker or family member who thinks differently from you? God’s people share a common mission but also God’s power and protection as they stand for Christ wherever He places them. Based on Jesus’s prayer for you, how will you glorify Him and seek the good of His people today?

18. Our good: Romans 8:28
19. Prays for you today: Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25
