John 17:20-26
Responsive Questions
1. Jesus prays that those who believe in him would be one, "that the world may believe that thou hast sent me" (vv. 21, 23). Why is our unity a powerful argument for the truth of Jesus' claims?
2. In what practical ways can we demonstrate our oneness with other believers?
3. Jesus obviously prays this prayer out loud to bring comfort and assurance to his disciples. How do Jesus' words encourage or assure you?
4. Jesus does not simply pray for the immediate, urgent needs of himself and his disciples. Instead he focuses on the long-range, important goals of their ministries. How are your prayers like or unlike Jesus' prayer?
Applying Chapter 17 in Your Life
Construct your own prayer based on Jesus' model. Pray for yourself, the people closest to you, and the people whom you influence in the workplace or neighborhood. What do you want God to accomplish long-range in each person?
