Episode Notes:
The Real Lord’s Prayer - Part Two: Jesus Prays for His Apostles (John 17:6-19)
Introduction.
In our previous episode, we saw that Jesus prayed for Himself, focusing on His glorification through the cross, and in heaven. Today, we will explore the second part of His prayer in John 17, where Jesus prays for His apostles.
Transition to Praying for the Apostles. (John 17:6-8 (NIV):
Here, Jesus shifts from praying for Himself to praying for His apostles. He emphasizes their understanding and acceptance of His teachings, and their belief in His divine origin.
Two Main Requests for the Apostles
- Protection from sin (John 17:6-15).
- Perfection in service (John 17:16-19).
These can be summarized by the theological term sanctification—being set apart for God’s holy purpose.
Jesus describes the apostles as:
- Given to Him by the Father.
- Having kept the Father's word.
- Knowing and believing that Jesus is sent from God.
The Petition for Protection - John 17:9-12 (NIV):
Jesus prays for the apostles to be protected from the world. He emphasizes:
- They belong to God.
- He is leaving them in the world.
- Their need for joy and fulfilment in their mission.
In the World but not of the World - John 17:13-15 (NIV):
Jesus highlights the need for the apostles to be in the world but not of it. He prays for their protection, not isolation.
Sanctification and Mission -John 17:16-19 (NIV):
Jesus prays for the apostles to be sanctified in truth, emphasizing:
- Their mission to the world.
- The importance of being set apart for God’s purpose.
- The cooperative process of sanctification involving both God and the apostles.
Application for Today
We, too, are called to be in the world but not of it. We should engage with the world while remaining distinct and holy. This involves:
- Protection from evil.
- Commitment to God's service.
- Living out God’s word.
Conclusion
Jesus’ prayer for His apostles is a powerful reminder of our calling. We are to be in the world, protected from evil, and sanctified for His service. Through His word, we are equipped to fulfil His mission. Let us live lives that reflect His glory, engage with the world, and remain fully dedicated to His purposes.
Preview of Part Three
In the next part of our study, we will see Jesus praying for all believers, including us today. This highlights the inclusiveness of His prayer and His concern for all who would follow Him.
