Encountering JesusSample

DISCOVER

The night that Jesus was betrayed, He had a farewell dinner and a time of prayer that His disciples witnessed. John’s account lets us know what Jesus prayed that evening. It was a difficult night for Jesus, maybe the most difficult night he had while he was on earth, but even then, He was concerned for others more than Himself. His main concern as He prayed was for the Father to be glorified and for the welfare of His disciples. What a great love!

LEARN

In this section, Jesus prayed, saying that he shared His glory with them; He showed the disciples His love, justice, and holiness. He showed them what God really is like, and His purpose in showing us His glory is to show us that we should work together as one body in perfect unity. When the body is perfectly united, it will testify to a dying and divided world that God has sent His Son Jesus and that the Father LOVES those who follow Jesus as much as He loves the Son.
