  2. Jesus Prays for His Glory John 17:1-5 When Jesus rose from the dead, He proved His claims to be the Messiah are true and that He will fulfill all of His promises

  3. The Resurrection of JesusMatthew 28; 1 Corinthians 15:5-6 Guards were placed at Jesus’ tomb for fear that His body would be stolen and then claimed to be resurrected Matthew 28:2-4 The guards were prepared to fight people, but they never expected to meet an angel

  4. The Resurrection of JesusMatthew 28; 1 Corinthians 15:5-6 1 Corinthians 15:5-6 - The resurrected Jesus was seen by many people individually & in groups up to 500

  5. Jesus’ Prayer in the Upper RoomJohn 17:1-5 After the Passover meal was completed & Judas had left, Jesus taught the disciples about what was to come At the conclusion of His teaching, Jesus offers what is knows as The High Priestly Prayer

  6. Jesus’ Prayer in the Upper RoomJohn 17:1-5 Jesus followed the common Jewish practice of prayer - lifting up His eyes to heaven (See 1 Tim. 2:8) This prayer was prompted by the “hour” for which He had come arriving - John 12:27

  7. Jesus’ Prayer in the Upper RoomJohn 17:1-5 His “hour” would be marked by His glorification & departure - John 2:4; 5:25; 7:30; 8:20; 12:23; 13:1

  8. Glorify the Son and the Father John 17:1 Titus 1:2 reveals the Father & Son had made promises to one another even before time began The Father’s plan for mankind was set before man was even created - Ephesians 1:4-5

  9. Glorify the Son and the Father John 17:1 Every saved person is a love gift from the Father to the Son who does the work of redemption & then gives everything back to the Father. (John 17:23-26; 6:37-40; 10:17-18; 14:31; Phil. 2:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:28) Jesus’ prayer is for this to happen though it also meant His crucifixion

  10. Glory Through Giving Eternal Life Its Source - John 17:2 The Father gives to the Son authority over all flesh All authority - including both salvation & judgment - belongs to the Son - Matthew 28:18-20; John 5:22 The gospel is a two-edged sword bringing life to those who believe & condemnation to those that do not

  11. Glory Through Giving Eternal Life Its Nature - John 17:3 Eternal life is bound up in the relationship with God that redemption restores Matthew 25 - both the righteous and unrighteous will exist eternally Eternal life is a reference to the quality life a person has in a loving relationship with their Creator

  12. Glory Through Giving Eternal Life Its Nature - John 17:3 Good theology cannot lead to salvation unless it is believed and applied to life Eternal promises made between the Father & the Son are accomplished in the redeemed who praise Him

  13. Glory on EarthJohn 17:4 Jesus glorified the Father while on earth doing His will & manifesting Him to the world (Col. 1:5; Heb. 1:3) Jesus revealed the Father by His words and miracles which came from the Father (John 14:9-11)

  14. Glory on EarthJohn 17:4 Jesus death & resurrection glorified the Father displaying His power, righteousness & justice -Rom. 3:25-26

  15. Glory That Was Before the World Was John 17:5 Jesus prays for His glory to be restored including the Father in that glory God is working to conform you into the image of His Son - Romans 8:29 The full glory that Jesus had with the Father before the world is beyond our imagination

  16. Glory That Was Before the World Was John 17:5 His full glory would destroy man (Ex. 33:20) and even its “afterglow” caused Moses’ face to shine (Ex. 34) The description of heaven given in Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4 is beyond what we understand

  17. Glory That Was Before the World Was John 17:5 We cannot understand the glory Jesus left behind to become a man - yet He was humble and did it The joy set before Jesus that enabled Him to endure the cross included this future restoration to glory

  18. Glory That Was Before the World Was John 17:5 Jesus’ resurrection is partial fulfillment of His prayer to be restored to glory – the rest is fulfilled in His ascension back to Heaven.

  19. Conclusions If your faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ - proclaim Him to others! If you are not certain you will be with Christ in heaven when you die - you can be - 1 John 5:13
