Jesus Prays

Jesus to be glorified by the Father (v.1) “The time has come…” The time has now come that the Son has to be seized and crucified to the cross of Calvary to fulfill the Scriptures. The Father has granted him all authority over all people that he might give eternal life. It is then the time for the Son to be glorified.

Here we can actually see that the Son glorifies the Father, and the Father will have to give glory to the Son. As Jesus repeatedly emphasized here, that they are one.

Another thing that we can see here is the possession of that glory before the beginning of time. In verse 5, Jesus made mention that that glory was already his before the beginning of time.

Tell the Cats to Turn Around
We despise people who challenge our cherished myths and kick us out of our
comfort zones. The truth is that when Jesus sets about the task of saving
us, he has to heal us of any myth or prejudice that is contrary to the
spirit of Christ. Billy Sunday was the Billy Graham of a previous
generation. He was conducting a crusade in a particular city. In one of
his sermons he said something critical of the labor conditions for workers
in that area. After the service, several prominent businessmen sent a
message to him by one of the local pastors. The message was this—Billy,
leave labor matters alone. Concentrate on getting people saved. Stay away
from political issues. You’re rubbing the fur the wrong way.” Billy Sunday
sent this message back to them: “If I’m rubbing the fur the wrong way,
tell the cats to turn around.”

His Omniscient Prayers

“And the Lord said, ‘Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat—but I have prayed for you, that your faith fails not. And when you are converted, strengthen your brethren’. . .And Peter said, ‘Man, I know not what you say.’ And, immediately the cock crew. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. And, Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, ‘Before the cock crows, you shall deny Me thrice.’ And, Peter went out and wept bitterly.”
