You can tell a lot about a person by the way they pray.
Two men were adrift in an open boat in the ocean and it looked like the end.
For days they had been drifting.
Nobody had shown up, and they were dry, they were hungry, and the sun was beating down, and they knew the end had come.
One of the men knelt down in the boat and prayed: "Oh Lord, I've broken most of your commandments.
I've been a hard drinker, but if my life is spared now I'll promise you that I never will again . .
."
And about that time his companion tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute Jack.
Don't go too far.
I think I hear a boat coming."

Here was a man who made deals, and he figured he could make deals with God.

When Robert Louis Stevenson was a boy he once remarked to his mother, "Momma, you can't be good without praying."
"How do you know, Robert?" she asked.
"Because I've tried!" he answered.
This brings to mind a story about another little fellow -- one who had been sent to his room because he had been bad.
A short time later he came out and said to his mother, "I've been thinking about what I did and I said a prayer."
"That's fine," she said, "if you ask God to make you good, He will help you."
"Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me be good," replied the boy.
"I asked Him to help you put up with me."
We come this morning to the “REAL LORD’S PRAYER” in .
You will notice that his is differnt from whta is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer in .
This was a prayer given to the disicples as an example when asked how to pray.
So this prayer would more accurately be called ‘The Disciples Prayer”
But in we find a much more intimae personal prayer.
We find a converstaion inside the Trinity.
God is Praying to God! Take a moment and let that fact wash over you.
Former NFL football player Bill Glass had a son named John—an all-state athlete in the eleventh grade, a 250-pound bruiser, the apple of his father's eye.
Then John had a knee injury that put him out for months and in the hospital for weeks.
One time Bill came home and couldn't find John.
Upstairs he noticed the door to his son's room was cracked just a bit, and his son was on the bed sobbing as if his heart would break.
Bill said, "As I listened to my son cry, I wanted to do something, but I didn't know what to say.
So I stood outside that door and listened to him sob, and I said to myself, I will go in to my son and say to him, "John it's OK, son.
We're going to lick this thing.
Were going to ask the Lord to lead us.
We will find the best doctors.
We're going to lick this thing."
So Bill finally pushed the door open, walked in, and then he started crying.
He put his hand on his son's shoulder, and the son looked up and noticed his dad crying and said, "Dad, it's OK.
We're going to lick this thing.
We'll ask the Lord to lead us, and we're going to be all right."
In other words, the son said to the father what the father was going to say to the son.
Something like that is happening in .
We see a relationship so intimate that before the petition poured forth from the Son, it was in the mind of the Father.
What a beautiful relationship, and more important, it is the relationship God the Father would have us have with the Son in our intimate prayers.
We ought to pray, "Father draw me so close to you by your grace that I make no requests, utter no sentence, make no appeal except the request, the sentence, the appeal that which you would have me make."
Prayer is not an exercise in getting, it is an experiment in intimacy.
And did you notice a difference in this prayer and the Disciples Prayer in ?
There is no confession of sin.
Jesus was sinless, therefore there was not sin that he had to get right before God.
He was the spotless lamb that had been pictured year after year at the passover feast, who had come to by the sacrifice that would pay the sin debt for you and for me.
As we take a few minutes this morning and examine the prayer that Christ prayed on the night of his passion, Lets Consider the God that Prayed it!
Jesus Prayed For Himself
Jesus knows that his the time has come.
The time that his he has been moving toward his entire life.
Actually all of history has been moving to this night, when the savior of the world would redeem mankind from sin.
Jesus
His Desire Was Gods Glory
Notice in Verse 1 Jesus says “Glorify thy son, that thy son also may glorify thee.”
His purpose was to glorify God and one why he was going to do that was to show His Glory to the world.
To Glorify something means to make manifest hidden values or riches.
The son gets its Glory from the gases that make it come being consumed and made manifest in a brilliant light.
The Glory of Christ is seen in two things “Grace” and “Truth” and each of these were made manifest to the world on the cross.
His Grace through our redemption and the truth of God’s Word were on display for all to see.
And this He said would bring Glory to God.
To be used up by God for his will was Christ purpose and would be what would bring Him and the Father Glory.
We often times want center stage, for others to talk about how great we are and give us the Glory which we keep for ourselves.
If we are to follow the pattern of Christ, we should be willing to spend and be spent for the cause of the Gospel to show the World The Grace and Truth of Christ.
Paul Said
His Desire Was Man’s Redemption
All of history has lead to this night.
In a few hours Jesus would go through a mock trial where he would be convicted and sentenced to the Cross.
He would be beaten and mocked and then in the end, take the long road that led to Golgotha, all for our redemption.
Notice what verse 2 says ‘That he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.’
Jesus treasures each of us that have been given him.
When we trust in Christ as savior we become his for eternity given to him by God since he is the one who paid our ransom.
The word given means to be deposited into an account.
On the first of every month, military retirees have a deposit into their account for their sacrifice to their country for 20 or more years.
Their Sacrifice was made and now for the rest of their lives, they enjoy fruits of that sacrifice.
This is, in a very small way, similar to the Deposit of redeemed sinners to the Savior by the father.
HIs Sacrifice was finished, nothing more has to be done, but for the sinner to cry out God and accept the atoning sacrifice for their sin, and when that is done, we are Christ’s!
Verse 4 Jesus says that he finished the work that God gave him to do.
All of the interactions he had with people, the woman at the well, the man at the pool of Bethesda, Lazarus and his sisters, all of the teaching that needed to be taught was done and now He was ready to be offered.
He had done all that was required of him to that point, all that was left was calvary.
All of this for the redemption of mankind.
Jesus Prayed For His Disciples
John 17:6-
He Prayed for them Specifically
Notice in verse 9 he says that he is not praying for the world, but for those who he had called out of the world to follow him.
Jesus knew what was before them.
John 16:
Their entire world was about to change.
They would be kicked out of the synagogues, what they had trusted in their entire life to lead them to God.
They would be killed by those who think they are doing God’s Will
Each of the apostles died a martyrs death, except John and he was boiled and exiled.
Jesus new that the road in front of them was not going to be easy so He Prayed for them .Not that God would take them out of the word, but that He would sustain them and keep them
They would be treated like this because Just as Christ was not of the world, neither were his followers.
Once you have been transformed by the grace of Christ, you will no longer fit in in this world.
One of the Tragedies of Christians and churches today is that we are blurring the line between the world and church…and doing so in the name of evangelizing the Lost.
