Gospel Of John C13-21 - Shalom Church Singapore

estore
Him
to
the
splendor
that
He
has
shared
with
the
Father
before
the
world
began.
At
this
point,
we
are
back
to
the
petition
in
verse
1
–
Glorify
Your
Son.
Before
Jesus
actually
asked
the
Father
to
glorify
Him
(v1c),
He
said
that
the
hour
has
come
(v1b).
The
hour
refers
to
the
appointed
time
for
His
death,
burial,
resurrection
and
ascension.
The
death‐burial‐resurrection‐ascension
of
Jesus
is
sometimes
referred
to
as
the
time/hour
for
His
glorification
(cf.
John
12:23‐24,
13:31)!
Jesus
knows
that
the
hour
of
His
glorification
has
come.
What
did
He
do
He
prays
that
His
glorification
will
take
place.
The
fact
that
God
has
ordained
something
is
precisely
the
reason
why
He
will
pray
for
that
something
to
come
to
pass.
What
a
lesson
here
for
us
on
prayer
and
God’s
sovereignty!
We
also
see
from
His
prayer
how
He
is
willing
to
obey
the
Father
and
die
on
the
cross!
To
 ask
 God
 to
 glorify
 Him
 is
 to
 pray
 for
 the
 time
 of
 His
 death‐burial‐resurrectionascension
to
come
to
pass.
What
a
Savior!!
As
we
review
and
reflect
on
this
petition
of
Jesus
in
verses
1‐5,
overall
we
see
that
our
Lord
has
a
Number
One
Concern,
namely
the
glory
of
God
in
the
salvation
of
His
elect.
Do
you
share
this
concern
of
your
Lord

Day
5
 Read
John
17:6‐19
John
17
is
the
prayer
of
Jesus.
We
should
feel
a
deep
sense
of
awe
and
privilege
to
hear
God
the
Son
praying
to
God
the
Father!
In
this
prayer,
we
find
Jesus
praying
for
Himself
(v1‐5),
for
His
immediate
disciples
(v6‐19)
and
for
all
who
would
come
to
believe
in
Him
through
their
word
(v20‐26).
The
last
3
days
were
spent
looking
at
Jesus’
prayer
for
Himself
(v1‐5).
For
today
and
the
next
 two
 days,
 we
 shall
 proceed
 to
 look
 at
 Jesus
 praying
 for
 His
 immediate
 disciples
(v6‐19).

 Jesus
says,
“I
pray
for
them.”
(V9).
