My gratefulness for John 17 is higher than ever. I am amazed that we are allowed to hear one person of the Trinity address another person of the Trinity at such length. We have a record of what the eternal Son said to the eternal Father regarding the fulfillment of their eternal plan.
The significance of this chapter would be difficult to overstate. Never before or since has a sweeter voice been heard in Heaven than the voice of the Savior submissively pleading with the Father to accomplish His purposes.
I preached on verses 1-5 Sunday and meditated on these 3 points:
1. Jesus' Supreme Passion was the Glory of the Father.
2. Jesus Gives Eternal Life.
3. Jesus is Particularly Glorified in the Cross.
