    The Lord’s Prayer in John 17 can be divided into three basic parts. Christ prays for himself to finish strong; for His disciples to follow faithfully and for every believer who would follow them in the way.

I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” [1] Karl Barth, the Swiss theologian, ...read more
