When Jesus Prays for Us Part 1
September 25, 2022 • Catlan Sardina • John 17:1–3, John 11:41–42, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Matthew 19:28–29, John 3:16
Jesus starts the High Priestly Prayer with a definition of eternal life. According to Jesus, eternal life is knowing God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom the Father has sent. This soul-satisfying reward of eternal life is a growing knowledge and appreciation of God’s beauty. Eternal life is only good if it is spent discovering the only true God. John 17:3 carries significant trinitarian implications that God the Father and God the Son are both equally God.
