Jesus Prayer for the Church (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this prayer for the Church, Jesus asks the Father to keep the name of His disciples and sanctify them in truth. He also asks that His disciples and all believers may be one with Him and the Father, so that the world may believe that the Father has sent Him. Jesus' authority over people is seen in His humble servanthood, and He came to establish the Kingdom of God through His obedience to God's will. Ultimately, eternal life consists of knowing God and knowing Jesus, which starts in the present and continues into eternity.
