The People You Gave Me 8/5/2018

Christ's High Priestly Prayer

Christ’s prayer in John 17 reveals that all glory belongs to God for salvation is of the Lord. It is the purpose of the Father, accomplished by the Son. As a reward for the Son’s obedience, the Father chose a people to give to Him. Christ “manifests the Father’s name” (reveals the Father), not to everyone, but to the people the Father gives Him (17:6). This is confirmed, not only by Christ’s prayer, but throughout Scripture.
