John 17:1 (NKJV) - “Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven,…”Today, let's reflect on a powerful moment from Jesus' life—His High Priestly Prayer in John 17. Before facing the cross, Jesus prayed for Himself, His disciples, and for all believers, including us today. This prayer shows Jesus’ desire to glorify the Father, protect His followers, sanctify them, and unite believers.Jesus began by praying for His own glorification (John 17:1-5). He wanted to glorify the Father through His obedience, even in suffering. This reminds us that our purpose is to bring glory to God in all we do. Like Jesus, we should seek to honour God, even when life gets challenging (Philippians 2:8-11).Jesus then prayed for His disciples' protection and sanctification (John 17:6-19). He knew they would face difficulties and prayed for God to protect them from the evil one and to set them apart by His truth. Today, we too need God's protection and to be changed by His Word. Spending time in the Bible keeps us strong and helps us live for God's purposes.Finally, Jesus prayed for all believers to be united (John 17:20-26). He wanted His followers to be one, just as He and the Father are one, so that the world would see God’s love through them. Our unity as believers is essential—it shows the world who Jesus is. Let's work together in love, putting aside differences to fulfil His mission (Ephesians 4:1-6).I trust that we will be able to say, as Jesus prayed: “I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do” (John 17:4).Prayer:Lord Jesus, thank You for praying for us. Help us to glorify You in everything we do, stay rooted in Your Word, and live in unity with other believers. May our lives reflect Your love to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
