A Deeply Meaningful Prayer-Life

Text: John 17: 1

A DEEPLY MEANINGFUL PRAYER-LIFE

Jesus was always noted by the Gospel writers as One who prayed faithfully.

1. Early in the morning Mark 1:35

2. Sometimes He prayed all night Luke 6:12

3. He also prayed spontaneously John 11:41-42

4. He prayed in difficult times Matthew 26:36-46

HE TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES HOW TO PRAY

Jesus also taught His Disciples how to pray (Matthew 6:5-13; Luke 11:1-4). The challenge to the Disciples was to learn how to pray meaningfully.

A SPECIAL PRAYER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

John recorded a prayer of the Lord Jesus. There is so much to learn from the way Jesus prayed.

“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: ‘Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.’” 

John 17:1

1. How Jesus prayed

a. He lifted up His eyes to heaven.
b. Heaven is where God the Father is.
c. This described His consciousness and His focus.

2. “Father, the hour has come”

a. Jesus addressed God with deep affection.
b. The most precious of terms was also the simplest, “Father”.
c. “The hour”
i. It simply means, “The time”.

iii. This is a reference to the hour of His death.

3. “Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You”

a. The focus of Jesus was to seek to bring glory to God.
b. Throughout His life, He had sought to bring glory to His Father.
c. The death that Jesus would experience was going to be very cruel and painful.
d. He asked that He might bring glory to the Father in the way He faced His suffering and death.
e. The focus of glorifying God is truly most admirable.

一个即深又有意义的祷告生活

对福音的作者而言，耶稣是一个忠诚于祷告的人。

1．在早晨祷告 《马可福音 1：35》

2．有时祂会整晚祷告 《路加福音 6：12》

3．祂会自发地祷告 《约翰福音 11：41-42》

4．祂在艰难时刻祷告 《马太福音 26：36-46》

祂教导祂的门徒如何祷告

耶稣也教导祂的门徒如何祷告《马太福音 6：5-13；路加福音 11：1-4》。门徒的挑战是学习如何有意义地祷告。

主耶稣基督的特别祷告

约翰记载了主耶稣的一个祷告。我们可以从耶稣祷告的方式学到很多。

“耶稣说了这话，就举目望天说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你！”

《约翰福音 17：1》
