The Prayer for Unity
John 17:20-26

OVERVIEW

This series has given us a glimpse into the prayer life of Jesus. At His lowest point, facing His trial and the cross, Jesus soared into the heavenlies and prayed for His disciples and, yes, even for us. In the last message, we looked at how we live as Christ’s disciples in this world. The Lord is praying for us, and what He prayed over 2,000 years ago still applies today.

When we reach this point in the prayer, it is the single focus of Jesus – unity.

II. YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON CHRIST

III. YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH THE PLAN
