John 17 - Jesus' prayer of consecration "The goal of prayer is union with God." Evelyn Underhill 17:1-5 // God's glory through Christ 17:6-12 // God's character among his people 17:13-19 // Joy fulfilled through holiness 17:20-24 // Our witness through unity 17:25-26 // God's love as the ultimate reality "We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in his Word, he intended to be conspicuous in our lives. If he has said much about prayer, it is because he knows we have much need of it. . . . A prayer less soul is a Christless soul." (Charles Spurgeon) Application: "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it, with thanksgiving." (Colossians 4:2)
