Celebrating Your BaptismSample

In the book of Hebrews, it calls Jesus our “High Priest.” This was a reference to the Old Testament, where the high priest would sacrifice an animal for the sins of the nation. The high priest would go into the Holy of Holies, where God’s Holy Spirit rested and communed with God.

In John 17, today's reading, we will see Jesus’ prayer, reminiscent of the prayer a high priest would pray. He begins by praying for Himself, then He prays for His disciples, and then He prays for you. He still prays for you. As you read His words today, what emotions did it evoke? How do you feel knowing that Jesus is still praying for you?
