Caring Through Prayer: Reflecting on John 17:1-26Намуна
Mission Reflection
In John 17:11-23, Jesus prayed for the ministry of the disciples as he sent them into the world bearing his message. What does his prayer reveal about the various challenges they will encounter as they continue his mission to the world? Why, in particular, did he pray that they would be brought to “complete unity” (17:23)? What is the connection between their unity, message, and mission?
