The Prayer of Jesus

Prayer had a high priority in Jesus’ life. After teaching His disciples and preparing them for His departure, He prayed for Himself, for His disciples, and for all believers for all time. Beginning a study of John 17, Alistair Begg walks us through Christ’s straightforward yet deeply profound High Priestly Prayer. In an overview of this sacred passage, we get a taste of the mystery, security, sanctity, unity, and glory that Jesus prayed for-and that Alistair will explore in depth as this study unfolds.
Scripture: John 17

I have listened to this exposition twice & it’s so rewarding. Thank you pastor Begg. You have a way of making the book live. May God bless you & keep you.❤

When I prayed, asking God what to teach my child, this is the chapter the Lord gave in answer to my cry. It changed my life, my families life, and others who have heard His precious Word taught in Sunday school. It is too marvelous for words. Joy unspeakable that God should desire us to be in Him, and then make it possible thru His sacrifice for us. Even 35 years later. ❤

After I gave my heart to Jesus 50 years ago, a Pastor gave me a Bible and inscribed those very words in it. He encouraged me to memorize 2 Timothy 3:16 & 2 Timothy 2:15. Praise the Lord for these men of God who lead us on to follow the Lord & feed on His Word. ✝️ Greetings all from 🇨🇦.

Such clear and inspired teaching from the scriptures from this Godly teacher may the Lord continue to give him clarity in teaching and preserve his health 🙏

You can have a head full of Scripture and a heart full of sin. You can backslide with a Bible under your arm.”

[@deannaJesusIsLord]

Amen. Wake up Church. We have wolves amongst us.

[@savedbygrace-faithalone]

Christ being resurrected in our heart is what transforms head knowledge into heart knowledge. Only by the power of Christ in us, are we enabled to live for Christ. It’s all Him in those who desire Him and truly believe. It’s He who brings us to will and strengthens us to obey, endure suffering, overcome temptation, love others, and even enables us to love Him in truth and sincerity. It’s He in us who makes us godly and holy. He to this day, continues to be glorified through us. Without Christ in us, even the good in us, is evil and somehow connected to our own benefit or fulfillment or sinful satisfaction.

I took trip to Israel a few years back. We went out on the sea of Galilee in a wooden lboat.. We had another boat come alongside us and tie off to us. Somebody got out of guitar and started singing. Some sang in english, some sang in Swedish and some sang in Hebrew. It was absolutely beautiful. I got to be in Israel, 13 or 14 days. If you haven't been, you should try to go.

[@konstantinmorgunov196]

Grace and peace to all brothers and sisters in Christ. This prayer alone obliterates false doctrines such as universalism, Dispensationalism/pretribulation-rapture, and those who reject that Jesus Christ is God in flesh... Universalism= (9-"I DO NOT PRAY FOR THE WORLD but for those WHOM YOU HAVE GIVEN ME"... 24- "Father, I desire that they also WHOM YOU GAVE ME may be with Me where I am") , Dispensationalism/pretribulation-rapture=(15-"I DO NOT PRAY THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, but that You should keep them from the evil one"... ), and those who reject that Jesus Christ is God in flesh (4- "I have glorified YOU ON THE EARTH. I HAVE FINISHED THE WORK YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TO DO...5- "And now Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory WHICH I HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD")

[@MrCoords]

As I read the bible with a friend today we covered so much of this, Alistair has dealt with this evening - He answers all her questions so well.

[@MarieG-yr8yr]

This a great sermon as usual. I love the quote about man's heart can be filled with scripture and his heart can be filled with sin. Does anyone know who said it? I've been searching the internet and I haven't gotten any closer to the answer. Thank you.

[@patriciavarga4084]

Vance Havner (1901-1986) I believe this is him.

[@patriciavarga4084]

I searched N Carolinian theologian with dates of birth/death

Can no longer receive from him.

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

Still waiting on Mr. Begg to recant his position on homosexuality and marriage.

[@HearGodsWord]

You obviously don't know his position

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

@@HearGodsWord Or you don’t. Want video proof?

[@HearGodsWord]

@jamesmartin8385 or you could actually say what you mean instead of being silly. That's what an adult would do.

[@HearGodsWord]

I'll help you out. His positions are that homosexuality is a sin and that marriage is between one man and one woman. If you agree, then he has nothing to recant of. If you disagree, then it's you who needs to recant.

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

@@HearGodsWord He caved to political correctness on his stance and advice concerning attending gay weddings. Because of this stance he’s lost his place on American family radio and has been kicked out of The Shepard Council. After much scrutiny and criticism he doubled down on this stance. Still waiting for him to recant encouraging Christians to attend Satanic events.
