Gospel of John - John 17.15 Jobey McGinty John 17 marks a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry. In this High Priestly Prayer we (and the disciples) hear Jesus state in plain terms His reason for coming into the world, His power to save those the Father had given to Him, His intention to return to the Father soon, and His resolve to have His flock sustained through hardship by the truth He has taught them. Jesus' intention and resolve to save should give us hope and courage, as they remind us that our salvation is entirely based on Jesus' power and willingness to save...not on the quality and strength of our faith or our worthiness. It all begins and ends with Jesus...and thanks be to God for that!
