The Prayer of Jesus
- The gospel written by John records a very special prayer by Jesus. Who
did Jesus pray for?
Jesus prayed for his disciples and for those who will believe on him in the future. Even today, if we believe in Jesus Christ, we are already an answer to his prayer.
- What did Jesus ask the Father for in his prayer?
Jesus prayed that all believers would be one. This unity would be a testimony to the world that the Father sent Jesus Christ to the world.
- How does Jesus’ prayer relate to the new commandment Jesus gave?
Jesus commanded that believers should love one another, and this love would be a sign that they are his disciples
- Jesus warned Peter to be careful - that Satan desired to separate him from
his faith. How did Peter respond?
Peter told Jesus that he would be willing to go to prison - even to die.
- What did Jesus then tell Peter?
Jesus told Peter that before the rooster crowed in the morning, he would deny the Lord three times.
- What did Peter do after he actually denied the Lord?
Peter was broken hearted. He went away and wept bitterly. His tears did not bring comfort.
