In John 8:1-11 we encounter a story that is best described as part church service, part soap opera and part Law & Order episode. How will Jesus respond in a most tension filled moment?

Is that yours? Friend, drop your rock.

Let's look into a prayer of Jesus. It’s known as the great Priestly Prayer of Jesus in the gospel of John, chapter 17. There's so much that comes from how Jesus prays. Read it. Lean into it. Meet His heart for you in it. He knew all that would occur once the church began to move – so he prayed for you, for me, for us. And He still does...
