John 17:1-11
After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. 5So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
6”I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; 8for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
When Jesus prayed for his disciples he prayed for me
he prayed these words out where nobody would hear or see.
Jesus made God’s name known by the example that he gave
before he made the sacrifice which led him to a grave.
We’ve received the truth of Jesus’ mission to earth
reminding us that we are all of sacred worth.
He placed his mission completely in God’s hands
and we are called to take this to all this world's lands.
Just as Jesus shared all his concerns in this prayer
we can offer up our prayers knowing God is there
as we glorify God in the same way Jesus did
knowing that God’s glory is also in us hid.
