Jesus' High Priestly Prayer

Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 26, 2019

In Jesus' longest recorded prayer, offered to the Father just hours before his arrest and crucifixion, he asks for three critical things that we need, and for which God's power is both necessary and sufficient: (1) purity and protection, (2) unity, and (3) glory.
