The Easter Prayer
John 17 March 30, 1997
Scripture: Unison Reading, Psalm 118, #712 in Hymnal
Prayer:
Introduction:
If you were Jesus, what would be one of the last prayers you prayed on the night before you went to the cross?
Would you pray for yourself, that God’s glorious purpose might be revealed and completed through the cross and the glory of the resurrection so that your purpose in having been here might not be thwarted?
Would you pray for those whom God has called to your ministry and touched with divine faith, thanking God for them, committing them to God’s protection, securing them in the joy of his fellowship, and seeking their sanctification by the truth you have given them?
Would you pray for those who would yet believe through the message that present believers would proclaim about you, that they might be a visible expression on earth of the oneness of the Triune God, a living testimony of the love of God on earth with the hope of the ever-present love of God in heaven?
Why did Jesus pray anyway?
Wasn’t he God?
Was it to show us that the same power of God that came to pass through the revelation of prayer by the Son of God, for the Son of God, is available to us as the children of God, through the Son of God?
We can teach truth through what Christ prayed because he is truth - and what he asked of God is surely true of himself.
