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?
