Jesus the Great High Priest
Jesus begins with prayer for Himself:
Father, the hour has come:
Christ would face the cross.
This prayer takes place before Jesus would be arrested , beaten, mocked, and then hung on the Cross and slain.
The theme of these verse Jn 17:1-5 is that Jesus has finished the work of Salvation- “I have glorified you on the earth” Jesus looked at the cross as away of glorifying God
Christ was going to Glorify God even in the midst of suffering
Christ’s Prayer here is “Father be glorified through my suffering.”
Christ is preparing to return to His rightfully place that He left for this
Here, in the upper room, on the night of His betrayal, Jesus was staring at the cross.
The hour was no longer remote; it was looming right in front of Him.
The moment planned by the Trinity from all eternity was at hand.
Jesus reveal who God is:
His Character
His plan of redemption
His love for the through the cross
His Grace
Jesus as the great High Priest would make the sacrifice for sin.
The Priest was responsible for the sacrifice of atonement which came through a lamb.
The Priest would pray over the sacrifice and then would make the sacrifice- the Lam was a substitute foe the people who had sinned
John says of Jesus in John 1:29, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”
Here Jesus prays over the sacrifice- Himself
Jesus prays for His disciples- the ones who had spent time with Christ, and would remain in this world after His death.
Jesus here prays for those who are His own and their protection and their unity.
The work of the cross is sufficient for all.
There never needs to be another sacrifice, yet there are some who don’t experience the work of the cross in their lives.
Believing and confessing is the key, and here Jesus is praying for those who have believed, confessed and would go out into the
Jesus says (Jn 17:19) “for their sake I consecrate myself, that they may be sanctified in truth.”
To be consecrate is to be set apart for a certain task- For Christ that purpose was the Cross, and through His body being broken and His blood being spilled, believers can be “sanctified”
Sanctification- A progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and more like Christ in our actual lives

His Blood was Spilt for us who believe.
We become more like Christ through truth
What is truth?
John 17:17 “Your word is truth”
We have truth- God’s Word
How do we become more like Christ- we spend time in the truth of His word
This is Jesus’ prayer for us- Those who would believe
Jesus before going to the cross prayer for us that we would be one with Him- This is what the work of the cross does for us:
It is because of the Jesus’ sacrifice that you and I find forgiveness, find healing, find peace even is a world that is full of hurt, pain, sin, anger.
Today Christ wants you to understand the power of the cross
Christ came to seek and save the lost
Are you Lost? Look to the one who was raised up on the cross so that you could be made whole, find peace, and find forgiveness
Christ came so that you could find new life
Are you broken and hurt?
Look to the cross where Christ bore your sorrows, and shame and find New Life with a hope that extends far beyond this world
Christ came so you could have hope
Have you been struggling trying to make it through life, carrying the baggage of hurts, guilt and shame?
Christ came so that there would be no more condemnation for you in Christ Jesus.
Christ came so you could have eternal life
