Of all the prayers of Jesus, the one recorded in the seventeenth chapter of John's Gospel is the most profound and magnificent.
Its words are plain, yet majestic; simple, yet mysterious. They plunge the reader into the unfathomable depths of the inter-Trinitarian communication between the Father and the Son, and their scope encompasses the entire sweep of redemptive history from election to glorification, including the themes of:
- regeneration,
- revelation,
- illumination,
- sanctification,
- and preservation
The veil is drawn back, and the reader is escorted by Jesus Christ into the Holy of Holies, to the very throne of God.
