Bible Study: You Have My Word | John 17:11b-19 | The High Priestly Prayer

As Jesus is about to lay down His life on the cross for His friends, for His enemies, for you and me, and for all people, He prays…for all of us. What do you do when you’re concerned for someone? You pray for them. Jesus prays, “Holy Father…I have given them your word.” In this prayer Jesus is saying to us, “You have my word.” To have Jesus’ word is to have God’s word. Jesus is saying, “You have my promise, God’s promise, that I will do what He has said.” Jesus gives us God’s Word and promise, to do three things - three things that we need, namely, to keep us from the evil one, to sanctify us, and to make us one.
