Our Savior Who Prays

Of all the prayers of Jesus, the one recorded in the seventeenth chapter of John’s Gospel is the most profound and magnificent.

Its words are plain, yet majestic; simple, yet mysterious. They plunge the reader into the unfathomable depths of the inter-Trinitarian communication between the Father and the Son, and their scope encompasses the entire sweep of redemptive history from election to glorification, including the themes of:

*regeneration,
*revelation,
*illumination,
*sanctification,
*and preservation

The veil is drawn back, and the reader is escorted by Jesus Christ into the Holy of Holies, to the very throne of God.
