John 17:6-19 (7th Sunday of Easter) – May 12, 2024

Because we’ve been in the Maundy Thursday scene for so long, I won’t rehash the context from the last few weeks too much. This text is in line with the last few Sundays. It is the conclusion of Maundy Thursday. As we heard last week, Jesus was giving the disciples his final teachings and his final commands. “Love one another as I have loved you.” This week, we hear Jesus’ final prayer to God for his disciples. The disciples are overhearing Jesus praying for them. It is a beautiful moment. I am going to jump right into interpretation and preaching possibilities this week.
