00:00What Does It Say?

00:05Jesus prayed for Himself, His disciples, and all who will ever believe in Him.

00:12What does it mean?

00:13The High Priestly Prayer of Christ is the longest prayer of Jesus in Scripture.

00:19Several principles surface from what Jesus prayed for Himself and those who follow Him.

00:25First, the deepest desire of Jesus was to glorify the Father.

00:30God receives glory when the work He gives is completed,

00:33as Jesus did by securing eternal life for believers through His death on the cross.

00:39Next, Jesus and the Father are one.

00:42God desires to experience this same unity with followers of Jesus

00:47and for believers to have unity with one another.

00:50Finally, disciples of Christ are to be sanctified by the truth of God's Word.

00:56Sanctification is being set apart from sin for God's purpose.

01:01How should I respond?

01:02The chief purpose of the Christian life is to glorify God by doing the work He designed for

01:08you to do.

01:09This is impossible if not done God's way through sanctification and oneness.

01:15From what do you need to be separated so you can draw closer to God?

01:19God calls us to work alongside other believers in a local church.

01:24Unity in the church validates the message of Christ but is only achieved when each member

01:29is one with God.

01:31Look back over the prayer of Jesus.

01:33How can you pray for yourself, your family, and your church in order to better glorify the Father?
