Setting The Stage

  • In John 15 Jesus taught his disciples about their relationships. Relationships with Christ, relationships with each other, and relationships with the world.
  • In John 16, Jesus teaches his disciples about the coming Holy Spirit and imminent departure.
  • John 17 records the prayer of Jesus right before his arrest.
  • The prayer of Jesus will give us insight into both His heart for His people and His people's deeper needs.


Main Proposition

Point 1, The Priority of God's Glory (V. 1-8 )

Verse 1

  • The hour refers to the time of Jesus's death. The significance of calling it "the hour" is important. In some sense this is the moment that all of time turns upon. The fulcrum of time. From Genesis 3:15 until now all of creation earnestly waited for this moment.

Point 2, We Need Keeping (V. 9-19)

Point 3, Unity is not a Given (V. 20-23)

Point 4, Christ Loves Us (V. 24-26)
