That We May Be One

On the night before the cross, Jesus didn't pray to be rescued. He prayed for his friends, and for you. John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus we have, and the thing he asks for most is that his people would be one.

• Why Jesus prayed for the glory of the cross instead of an escape from it
• "This is eternal life": what it means to know God
• "Keep them from the evil one": a prayer for protection in the world, not out of it
• "Those who will believe through their word": the moment the prayer reaches you
• "That they may all be one": why unity is meant to be the evidence
• Unity without uniformity: the model Jesus points to
