Prayer - Lesson 6 - The Heart of Christ, in Prayer Part 1

John Chapter 17 shows us the heart of our Savior . . . His deep intercession reveals the depth of His passion for those whom He loves and the extent of His relationship with The Father.

This is basically broken down into three seperate intercessions. In the first prayer (verses 1 - 5) He acknowledges God the Father, their relationship, and the work at hand. He then asks for His life to bring glory back to the Father, and that He would soon be back in glory with Him.

The second one (verses 6 - 18) is where He pours out His heart to the Father on behalf of those closest to Him; His disciples. This is the section we will be focusing upon today.

1. How does He start this section? What does He say about His disciples?

2. Who does He say His friends/followers/disciples belong to?

3. What does He ask of the Father for them?
